Spring Cloud Commons: Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes
CVE-2026-59284 is a high-severity improperly controlled modification of dynamically-determined object attributes vulnerability in Spring Cloud Commons from Spring, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.6 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with administrator privileges, without any action from a user. Affected Spring Cloud Commons versions: 5.0.0 through 5.0.2; 4.3.0 through 4.3.3; 4.0.0 through 4.2.6, and others listed below. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

The underlying weakness: Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes
The product receives input from an upstream component that specifies multiple attributes, properties, or fields that are to be initialized or updated in an object, but it does not properly control which attributes can be modified.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- If available, use features of the language or framework that allow specification of allowlists of attributes or fields that are allowed to be modified. If possible, prefer allowlists over denylists. For applications written with Ruby on Rails, use the attr_accessible (allowlist) or attr_protected (denylist) macros in each class that may be used in mass assignment.
- If available, use the signing/sealing features of the programming language to assure that deserialized data has not been tainted. For example, a hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) could be used to ensure that data has not been modified.
- For any externally-influenced input, check the input against an allowlist of internal object attributes or fields that are allowed to be modified.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: no, technical impact: partial).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
