CVE-2026-103088
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-2m6h-5wp5-qp66 ↗EUVD-2026-89555 ↗
description
Handlebars.java's Spring MVC integration in versions 4.5.3 and 4.5.4 can resolve encoded traversal sequences inconsistently when templates are loaded from the filesystem. An attacker may read files outside the configured template directory when a Spring MVC application uses a file: template location and accepts request-derived view names.
mitigation
Upgrade Handlebars.java to version 4.5.5 or later. Until upgraded, avoid filesystem-backed template prefixes and ensure request input cannot influence view names.
fixed in 4.5.5
outcome
Mechanism verified: the exploit fired on the vulnerable build and stayed silent on the patched one, but the server it ran against was ours, so no check ships for it.
