Denial of Service (DoS)

org.springframework:spring-webmvc is a package that provides Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture and ready components that can be used to develop flexible and loosely coupled web applications.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) via MVC controller @RequestBody byte[] method parameters.

Path Traversal

org.springframework:spring-webmvc is a package that provides Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture and ready components that can be used to develop flexible and loosely coupled web applications.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Path Traversal through the functional web frameworks WebMvc.fn or WebFlux.fn. An attacker can craft malicious HTTP requests and obtain any file on the file system that is also accessible.

Note: This is similar to CVE-2024-38816, but with different input.

How to fix Path Traversal?

Upgrade org.springframework:spring-webmvc to version 6.1.14 or higher.

Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity

org.springframework:spring-webmvc is a package that provides Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture and ready components that can be used to develop flexible and loosely coupled web applications.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity due to String.toLowerCase() having some Locale dependent exceptions that could potentially result in fields not protected as expected.

Note: The fix for CVE-2022-22968 made disallowedFields patterns in DataBinder case insensitive.

How to fix Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity?

Upgrade org.springframework:spring-webmvc to version 6.1.14 or higher.

Path Traversal

org.springframework:spring-webmvc is a package that provides Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture and ready components that can be used to develop flexible and loosely coupled web applications.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Path Traversal via the WebMvc.fn and WebFlux.fn frameworks. An attacker can access any file on the file system that is also accessible to the process in which the Spring application is running by crafting malicious HTTP requests.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the web application uses RouterFunctions to serve static resources and resource handling is explicitly configured with a FileSystemResource location.

Directory Traversal

org.springframework:spring-webmvc Spring provides everything you need beyond the Java language to create enterprise applications in a wide range of scenarios and architectures.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Directory Traversal. When static resources are served from a file system on Windows (as opposed to the classpath, or the ServletContext), a malicious user can send a request using a specially crafted URL that can lead a directory traversal attack.

How to fix Directory Traversal?

Upgrade org.springframework:spring-webmvc to version 4.3.15, 5.0.5 or higher.

Cross-site Scripting (XSS)

Affected versions of org.springframework:spring-webmvc are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The LocaleChangeInterceptor does not escape user input values from an HTTP request.

Directory Traversal

org.springframework:spring-webmvc is a package that provides Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture and ready components that can be used to develop flexible and loosely coupled web applications.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Directory Traversal. Paths provided to the ResourceServlet were not properly sanitized and as a result exposed to directory traversal attacks.

How to fix Directory Traversal?

Upgrade org.springframework:spring-webmvc to version 3.2.18.RELEASE, 4.2.9.RELEASE, 4.3.5.RELEASE or higher.
