# Spring Retry has Cache Exhaustion in Stateful Retries that leads to Denial of Service

Advisory record · `GHSA-2827-2mxx-j8pv`

- **Identifiers:** `GHSA-2827-2mxx-j8pv` · `CVE-2026-41710`

Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 9 Jun 2026, 06:31 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `org.springframework.retry:spring-retry` (Maven): affected `>=2.0.0, <2.0.13 || <=1.3.4`; fixed in `2.0.13`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> Spring Retry versions 2.0.0 through 2.0.12 and 1.3.0 through 1.3.4 are vulnerable. An attacker who can send many unique requests that fail can fill the application-wide stateful retry cache, after which it rejects further updates and all later stateful retries and circuit breakers in the application fail, causing a denial of service. Upgrade spring-retry to version 2.0.13.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-2827-2mxx-j8pv>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
