Low risk7th percentile - higher than 7% of all known CVEs
Summary
When enabling Spring Boot DevTools support for a remote application target from the Spring Tools Boot Dashboard, Spring Tools generates a shared secret that authenticates DevTools remote-restart uploads. This secret was generated using a non-cryptographic pseudo-random number generator rather than a cryptographically secure source of randomness. Affects Spring Tools for Eclipse 5.2.0 and earlier.
Risk Assessment
Risk that an attacker can guess or predict the secret, enabling unauthorized code uploads to the remote application and potential arbitrary code execution.
Recommendation
Update Spring Tools for Eclipse to version 5.2.1 or later, which uses a cryptographically secure random generator.
Other vulnerabilities in Spring Tools for Eclipse
See all- CVE-2026-59328Medium
Spring Tools for Eclipse renders Spring Boot starter wizard dependency tooltips in a native embedded browser with JavaScript enabled. Untrusted or compromised Initializr endpoints can lead to arbitrary script execution when hovering a dependency checkbox.
- CVE-2026-59327Medium
Spring Tools for Eclipse stores the Spring Boot DevTools remote secret as plain text in the launch configuration. The .launch file is saved as cleartext XML, potentially leaking the secret to the filesystem or version control.
- CVE-2026-59326Low
The Spring Boot language server logs the raw value of proxy environment variables (https_proxy, etc.) at INFO level when no http.proxy setting is configured. Proxy URLs often contain Basic-auth credentials, which are written without redaction.
- CVE-2026-47873High
The Boot Dashboard Docker integration in Spring Tools publishes container control ports on all of the host's network interfaces (0.0.0.0) rather than restricting them to loopback. Affects Spring Tools for Eclipse 5.2.0 and earlier.
Original NVD description (English source)
When enabling Spring Boot DevTools support for a remote application target (for example a Docker container or Cloud Foundry app) from the Spring Tools Boot Dashboard, Spring Tools generates a shared secret that authenticates DevTools remote-restart uploads to the deployed application. This secret was generated using a non-cryptographic pseudo-random number generator rather than a cryptographically secure source of randomness.
