NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libspring-java package and not the libspring-java package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.
Spring Framework (versions 5.0.x prior to 5.0.7, versions 4.3.x prior to 4.3.18, and older unsupported versions) allow web applications to change the HTTP request method to any HTTP method (including TRACE) using the HiddenHttpMethodFilter in Spring MVC. If an application has a pre-existing XSS vulnerability, a malicious user (or attacker) can use this filter to escalate to an XST (Cross Site Tracing) attack.
