Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere via handling of chained redirects. An attacker can cause the Reactor Netty HTTP client to leak credentials such as session cookies by intercepting initial HTTP/1.1 requests containing and replaying them on new HTTP/2 connections.

Notes:

  1. For this to be exploited, the HTTP client must have been explicitly configured to follow redirects.
  2. For the commercial version of Spring, patches are also available for the 1.0.x and 1.1.x streams in 1.0.49 and 1.1.32 respectively.
