Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2026-47873 is a high-severity Binding to an Unrestricted IP Address (CWE-1327) vulnerability in Spring Tools (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 8.0 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 8th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to CM-7 (Least Functionality) and SC-7 (Boundary Protection) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
The Boot Dashboard Docker integration in Spring Tools publishes container control ports on all of the host's network interfaces (0.0.0.0) rather than restricting them to loopback. Affected Spring Products and Versions: Spring Tools for Eclipse: 5.2.0 and earlier

Why these techniques?
Binding container control ports to 0.0.0.0 directly enables remote exploitation of the exposed Docker integration service.

Control response
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly enforces boundary protection rules that restrict container control ports to loopback rather than 0.0.0.0.
Requires least functionality by disabling or restricting unnecessary network interfaces and port bindings for the Docker integration.
Enforces information flow policies that limit exposure of container control traffic to only authorized (localhost) paths.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Configuration management enforces restricted bind addresses, covering the weakness completely but only one aspect of overall hardening.
Network protection controls directly prevent exposure via unrestricted binds while fixing the weakness addresses only one vector of unauthorized access.
Documenting authorized network flows informs correct bind decisions and reduces the chance of 0.0.0.0 usage.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Security of network services includes hardening service bindings to prevent exposure on all interfaces.
Secure architecture principles discourage exposing services on all interfaces, though the control is broader than this single weakness.
Network security controls directly require restricting listening interfaces to specific addresses rather than 0.0.0.0.
Network segregation can limit the blast radius of an unrestricted binding but does not prevent the binding itself.
Secure coding guidance can catch hard-coded 0.0.0.0 bindings during development but is not the primary mitigation.
