    Spring Web Services: Jaxp13 XPath XXE via StreamSource and SAXSource

    CVE-2026-40998 · GHSA-2mpf-m756-hxjm

    Affected
    • Maven org.springframework.ws:spring-xml >= 5.0.0, <= 5.0.1; >= 4.1.0, <= 4.1.3; >= 4.0.0, <= 4.0.18; >= 3.1.0, <= 3.1.8
    Fixed in
    4.1.45.0.2· Partial vendor fix
    Issue
    Jaxp13XPathTemplate evaluated XPath expressions for StreamSource and SAXSource inputs using a code path that parsed attacker-controlled XML with the JDK's default DocumentBuilderFactory behavior instead of Spring's hardened parser configuration. Applications that evaluate XPath against untrusted XML payloads could therefore be exposed to XML External Entity (XXE) style attacks. Affected versions: Spring Web Services 5.0.0 through 5.0.1; 4.1.0 through 4.1.3; 4.0.0 through 4.0.18; 3.1.0 through 3.1.8.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 5.0.2 or 4.1.4 by release line; some affected versions have no fix yet, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
