3.1.18

Released Aug 28, 2026
CVE-2026-59317
CVE-2026-59278
Full Version: 
3.1.10-spring-kafka-3.1.18

Security Fixes

  • An empty or oversized retry timestamp header no longer aborts dead-letter publication and leaves a record reprocessing indefinitely, because DeadLetterPublishingRecovererFactory now falls back to the record's own timestamp (medium severity, CVE-2026-59317).
  • Producer-controlled network-address header types can no longer trigger attacker-controlled DNS lookups during deserialization, because DefaultKafkaHeaderMapper never trusts the java.net address types and returns such headers as a NonTrustedHeaderType even when their package is trusted (medium severity, CVE-2026-59278).

Dependency Upgrades

  • Spring Data BOM (NES) 2023.1.12-spring-data-bom-2023.1.20

3.1.17

Released Jun 15, 2026
CVE-2026-41726
CVE-2026-41727
CVE-2026-41731
Full Version: 
3.1.10-spring-kafka-3.1.17

Security Fixes

  • Bounded the selector lookup cache in DelegatingDeserializer to prevent unbounded consumer heap growth from records carrying unique spring.kafka.serialization.selector header values (CVE-2026-41726).
  • Hardened decoding of the user-controlled retry_topic-attempts and retry_topic_backoff-timestamp headers in DeadLetterPublishingRecovererFactory and KafkaBackoffAwareMessageListenerAdapter, preventing a producer from misrepresenting retry attempts or stalling the listener (CVE-2026-41727).
  • Fixed JsonKafkaHeaderMapper and the deprecated DefaultKafkaHeaderMapper to require exact trusted-package matches for type headers, preventing deserialization of arbitrary JDK classes from malicious headers (CVE-2026-41731).
