A Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux application running on JDK 9+ may be vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) via data binding. The specific exploit requires the application to run on Tomcat as a WAR deployment. If the application is deployed as a Spring Boot executable jar, i.e. the default, it is not vulnerable to the exploit. However, the nature of the vulnerability is more general, and there may be other ways to exploit it.

In Spring Cloud Function versions 3.1.6, 3.2.2 and older unsupported versions, when using routing functionality it is possible for a user to provide a specially crafted SpEL as a routing-expression that may result in remote code execution and access to local resources.

In spring cloud gateway versions prior to 3.1.1+ and 3.0.7+ , applications are vulnerable to a code injection attack when the Gateway Actuator endpoint is enabled, exposed and unsecured. A remote attacker could make a maliciously crafted request that could allow arbitrary remote execution on the remote host.

Spring Cloud Config, versions 2.2.x prior to 2.2.3, versions 2.1.x prior to 2.1.9, and older unsupported versions allow applications to serve arbitrary configuration files through the spring-cloud-config-server module. A malicious user, or attacker, can send a request using a specially crafted URL that can lead to a directory traversal attack.

The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Harsh iSpring Embedder allows Upload a Web Shell to a Web Server.This issue affects iSpring Embedder: from n/a through 1.0.

A vulnerability was found in wander-chu SpringBoot-Blog 1.0 and classified as problematic. This issue affects the function modifiyArticle of the file src/main/java/com/my/blog/website/controller/admin/PageController.java of the component Blog Article Handler. The manipulation of the argument content leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

A vulnerability has been found in wander-chu SpringBoot-Blog 1.0 and classified as critical. This vulnerability affects the function upload of the file src/main/java/com/my/blog/website/controller/admin/AttachtController.java of the component Admin Attachment Handler. The manipulation of the argument file leads to unrestricted upload. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in wander-chu SpringBoot-Blog 1.0. This affects the function preHandle of the file src/main/java/com/my/blog/website/interceptor/BaseInterceptor.java of the component HTTP POST Request Handler. The manipulation leads to improper access controls. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Applications serving static resources through the functional web frameworks WebMvc.fn or WebFlux.fn are vulnerable to path traversal attacks. An attacker can craft malicious HTTP requests and obtain any file on the file system that is also accessible to the process in which the Spring application is running.
