CVE-2026-47862 Vmware CVE debrief

Who should care

Organizations using Spring Integration in their applications, especially those with untrusted input or exposed ZipTransformer instances, should be aware of this vulnerability. They should prioritize patching to prevent potential arbitrary file write vulnerabilities. Security teams and operators managing Spring Integration deployments should review the official advisory and CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance. Vulnerability management and platform security teams should plan vendor-supported updates or mitigations through normal change control where exposure is confirmed. Compensating controls for exposed systems should be reviewed while remediation is scheduled and verified. Monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets should be checked for extra review. Exceptions, retesting of remediated assets, and closing the item only after evidence is documented are crucial steps. Asset inventory and source tracking can help in managing the remediation process effectively. Rollback/change windows should be considered for updates.

Technical summary

An attacker who can set the file_name header on a message reaching a ZipTransformer with ZipResultType.FILE can cause the resulting .zip archive to be written to an arbitrary filesystem path outside the configured workDirectory. This affects Spring Integration versions 6.4.0 - 6.4.12, 6.5.0 - 6.5.10, 7.0.0 - 7.0.5, and 7.1.0. The vulnerability allows for potential arbitrary file write vulnerabilities. Organizations using affected Spring Integration versions should prioritize patching to prevent this vulnerability.

Defensive priority

Organizations using affected Spring Integration versions should prioritize patching to prevent potential arbitrary file write vulnerabilities.

Recommended defensive actions

• Apply patches for affected Spring Integration versions
• Restrict access to ZipTransformer with ZipResultType.FILE
• Monitor for suspicious .zip archive creation
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up.
• Review the supplied official advisory or CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance.
• Plan vendor-supported updates or mitigations through normal change control where exposure is confirmed.
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified.
