CVE-2018-11039 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
This was deemed not a vulnerability.
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 Cross-Site Tracing (XST). It allows 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 attack.
