How to fix?

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

Overview

org.springframework:spring-websocket is a framework 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 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.
