medium Nessus Plugin ID 161949

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host contains a web application framework that is affected by denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The remote host contains a Spring Framework version that is prior to 5.2.20 or 5.3.x prior to 5.3.17. It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerability. A remote, authenticated attacker could provide a specially crafted SpEL as a routing expression that may result in denial of service condition.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Spring Framework version 5.2.20 or 5.3.17 or later.
