Upgrade org.springframework.hateoas:spring-hateoas to version 2.5.3, 3.0.4 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes via reflective property binding in PropertyUtils.createObjectFromProperties(). An attacker can modify security-sensitive object properties by supplying crafted hypermedia payloads, as property binding performed by the Collection+JSON and UBER deserializers ignores Jackson access-control annotations and sets bean properties directly through reflection. This may allow unauthorized modification of fields that developers intended to restrict from client control.
Note: This is only exploitable if the application enables the COLLECTION_JSON or UBER media types, accepts a RepresentationModel or EntityModel as @RequestBody, and relies on Jackson annotations to protect sensitive properties while still exposing corresponding setter methods.
