CVE-2026-40968 | BDVDB-2026-329474 Detail
SpringSpring gRPC
Description#
When an authenticated user is denied access to a gRPC method, their authenticated identity remains bound to the gRPC worker thread and can be inherited by a subsequent unauthenticated request on the same thread. This may allow the subsequent user to gain escalated permissions. Affected versions: Spring gRPC: 1.0.0 - 1.0.2 (fixed in 1.0.3). Older, unsupported versions are also affected.
Impact#
A subsequent request on the same gRPC worker thread may inherit a prior user’s authenticated identity after an authorization failure, enabling privilege escalation (CVSS v3.1: low confidentiality and integrity impact).
