### Impact All users who run Spring Boot Admin Server, having enabled Notifiers (e.g. Teams-Notifier) and write access to environment variables via UI are possibly affected. ### Patches In the most recent releases of Spring Boot Admin 2.6.10 and 2.7.8 the issue is fixed by implementing `SimpleExecutionContext` of SpEL. This prevents the arbitrary code execution (i.e. SpEL injection). ### Workarounds * Disable any notifier * Disable write access (POST request) on `/env` actuator endpoint
