CERT-FR has disclosed two denial-of-service vulnerabilities affecting Spring Micrometer, a widely-used metrics instrumentation library for JVM-based applications. The flaws, tracked as CVE-2026-40983 and CVE-2026-40984, impact Micrometer Core and its Jetty11/Jetty12 integration modules across multiple release branches. Vulnerable versions span from 1.9.x through 1.16.x, with the earliest affected release being 1.9.0 and fixes available in 1.9.18, 1.13.19, 1.14.16, 1.15.12, and 1.16.6.
The vulnerabilities enable remote attackers to trigger denial-of-service conditions without authentication, though technical details of the attack vectors remain undisclosed. Organizations using Spring Micrometer for application metrics collection should prioritize patching, particularly in internet-facing environments where the remote exploitation vector presents elevated risk. Spring has released patches for all affected branches, and administrators are advised to consult the vendor security bulletins for specific upgrade guidance.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,436 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
