Overview

org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-webmvc is a maven plugin for Spring Data REST - WebMVC.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes due to missing write-access enforcement in the JsonPointerMapping class in JsonPointerMapping.java. When a JSON Patch (application/json-patch+json) request is processed, the write-access filter is applied only to the final segment of a multi-segment JSON Pointer and not to intermediate path segments. An attacker can send a JSON Patch request whose path traverses a container property marked read-only at the Jackson level into a nested embeddable object, collection, or map element that carries no per-field restriction, modifying data the application intends to be immutable.

Note:

Only applications whose domain model includes an embeddable object, collection, or map property whose container is marked read-only at the Jackson level, while the inner element type carries no per-field restriction, are affected.
