Spring Framework < 5.3.41 / 6.0.x < 6.0.25 / 6.1.x < 6.1.14 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 209652

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host contains a web application framework that is affected by a path traversal vulnerability.

Description

The remote host contains a Spring Framework version is affected by a path traversal vulnerability.

- Applications serving static resources through the functional web frameworks WebMvc.fn or WebFlux.fn are vulnerable to path traversal attacks. An attacker can craft malicious HTTP requests and obtain any file on the file system that is also accessible to the process in which the Spring application is running. This is similar to CVE-2024-38816, but with different input. (CVE-2024-38819)

 - The fix for CVE-2022-22968 made disallowedFields patterns in DataBinder case insensitive. However, String.toLowerCase() has some Locale dependent exceptions that could potentially result in fields not protected as expected. (CVE-2024-38820)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Spring Framework version 5.3.41, 6.0.25, 6.1.14 or later.
