CVE-2024-38820  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-178  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade org.springframework:spring-webflux to version 6.1.14 or higher.

Overview

org.springframework:spring-webflux is a Spring Framework module that contains support for reactive HTTP and WebSocket clients as well as for reactive server web applications including REST, HTML browser, and WebSocket style interactions.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity due to String.toLowerCase() having some Locale dependent exceptions that could potentially result in fields not protected as expected.

Note: The fix for CVE-2022-22968 made disallowedFields patterns in DataBinder case insensitive.
