Overview

org.springframework:spring-web is a package that provides a comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise applications - on any kind of deployment platform.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data. This vulnerability describes unsafe usage of Spring-web. So if a user utilizes spring-web in a particular way, it leads to code execution, and the remediation here from the developer is simply putting a note stating that. (See: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/commit/76964e16efbcee7c19608e826aa26c032493baa0) . Snyk does not mark unsafe usage of dependencies as vulnerabilities since it is not a direct dependency vulnerability, its more about how the dependency is being used by a user, and furthermore, there is no fix from the spring maintainer here.
