Machine-written summary

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

Spring Web Services (spring-ws-security) versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.1, 4.1.0 through 4.1.3, 4.0.0 through 4.0.18, and 3.1.0 through 3.1.8 can reveal detailed account state, such as locked or disabled status, to remote SOAP clients through exception messages or callback results. A remote attacker can use this to tell valid accounts from invalid ones and infer account lifecycle state. Upgrade to spring-ws-security 5.0.2 or 4.1.4, or to a later release in those lines. The source gives few details on which integration paths are affected.
