On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I am pleased to announce that Spring Framework 6.1.14 is available now.

Spring Framework 6.1.14 ships with 25 fixes and documentation improvements. This version will be shipped with Spring Boot 3.2.11 and Spring Boot 3.3.5 next week.

Project Page | GitHub | Issues | Documentation

The Spring Framework has released version 6.1.14 that contains a fix for both:

• CVE-2024-38819: Path traversal vulnerability in functional web frameworks (2nd report)
• CVE-2024-38820: Spring Framework DataBinder case sensitive match exception

Note that open source support for Spring Framework 5.3.x and 6.0.x generations has ended last August, as announced previously. This fix has been applied to the 5.3.41 and 6.0.25 commercial releases, available now.

If you are not a commercial customer, please consider upgrading to an open source supported version at your earliest convenience.
