CVE-2026-59280
Applications using Spring Framework's FreeMarker integration may be vulnerable to a path traversal attack when a controller returns a view name derived from untrusted input and FreeMarker is configured to resolve templates through SpringTemplateLoader.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.24%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
