CVE-2026-41706 Spring CVE debrief
CVE-2026-41706 is a vulnerability in Spring Security's CookieRequestCache and CookieServerRequestCache. These components store the pre-authentication request URL in a browser cookie to redirect users to their intended destination after a successful login. However, in affected versions, the full absolute URL is stored in the cookie and used without validation as the post-login redirect target. This allows attackers to manipulate the redirect URL, potentially leading to phishing attacks.
