How to fix?

Upgrade org.springframework:spring-webmvc to version 7.0.9 or higher.

Overview

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 Neutralization in the ServerResponse.sse process. An attacker can corrupt the data stream sent to other users by injecting malicious or malformed data into the stream when the application uses plain text messages and the attacker controls the streamed data. This is only exploitable if the application uses Spring MVC's functional web framework, streams data using Server Sent Events (SSE), does not use a structured message format like JSON, and allows an attacker to control the streamed data.
