Spring Cloud Gateway's SSL bundle configuration silently bypassed

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Apr 10, 2026 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Apr 14, 2026

Package

maven org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-gateway (Maven)

Affected versions

= 4.2.0

Patched versions

4.2.1

Description

When configuring SSL bundles in Spring Cloud Gateway by using the configuration property spring.ssl.bundle, the configuration was silently ignored and the default SSL configuration was used instead.

Note: The 4.2.x branch is no longer under open source support. If you are using Spring Cloud Gateway 4.2.0 and are not an enterprise customer, you can upgrade to any Spring Cloud Gateway 4.2.x release newer than 4.2.0 available on Maven Centeral https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/springframework/cloud/spring-cloud-gateway/ . Ideally, if you are not an enterprise customer, you should be upgrading to 5.0.2 or 5.1.1, which are the current supported open source releases.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
