# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-22739

Advisory: Spring Cloud Config Server: Path Traversal via Profile Parameter Allows Arbitrary File Access
IDs: CVE-2026-22739, GHSA-3qwq-q9vm-5j42
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-22739 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:44 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.6)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-config-server 5.0.2, 4.3.2. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-config-server: affected >= 4.3.0, < 4.3.2; >= 5.0.0-M1, < 5.0.2; >= 4.2.0, <= 4.2.4; >= 4.0.0, <= 4.1.7; <= 3.1.10; fixed in 4.3.2, 5.0.2

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-config-server: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-config-server.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
