How to fix?

Upgrade io.micrometer:micrometer-core to version 1.16.7, 1.17.1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to CRLF Injection through DatadogStatsdLineBuilder, EtsyStatsdLineBuilder, and the Printer in LoggingMeterRegistry. An attacker can spoof metrics or log entries by supplying meter names, tag keys, or tag values containing \n or \r, causing the generated StatsD or log output to break into additional lines.

Notes

  • Additional fixes are available for earlier versions under Enterprise Support (see the Spring Security Advisory for additional details)
