org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-webmvc@2.2.0.RELEASE vulnerabilities

org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-webmvc is a maven plugin for Spring Data REST - WebMVC.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure by allowing an attacker to craft HTTP requests that expose hidden entity attributes, given that the attacker knows about the structure of the underlying domain model.

Note: Applications that have generally disabled HTTP PATCH support, either through the corresponding configuration of Spring Data REST, Spring Boot, or through their runtime infrastructure, are not affected.

Upgrade org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-webmvc to version 3.6.7, 3.7.3 or higher.

org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-webmvc is a maven plugin for Spring Data REST - WebMVC.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. HTTP resources implemented by custom controllers using a configured base API path and a controller type-level request mapping are additionally exposed under URIs that can potentially be exposed for unauthorized access depending on the Spring Security configuration.

Note: This vulnerability is only exploitable in a project if the Spring Data REST base path configuration is set to a non-empty string AND the project registers a custom Spring MVC controller to customize HTTP resources in the URI space of Spring Data REST and that controller uses a type-level @RequestMapping annotation;the project only secures the paths exposed by Spring Data REST within the base path but does not apply security measures to URIs matching the mappings without the configured base path prepended.

Upgrade org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-webmvc to version 3.5.6, 3.4.14 or higher.

org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-webmvc is a maven plugin for Spring Data REST - WebMVC.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. It is caused due to the way Spring uses it's own expression language in the Data REST component.

The Spring Expression Language (SpEL) is an expression language (similar to OGNL, MVEL, and JBoss EL) which serves as the foundation for expression evaluation within the Spring portfolio. It supports querying and manipulating an object graph at runtime.

User input was not validated upon sending a PATCH request with a path parameter to spring-data-rest servers. An attacker may sumit a specially crafted PATCH request with a path containing SpEL syntax, and the Spring REST server, would in turn run these expressions.

An example for an invalid PATCH request:

[
    {"op":"replace", "path":"<Malicious SpEL code>", "value": "bar" }
]

Upgrade org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-webmvc to version 2.6.7.RELEASE or higher.
