CPE [?]: cpe:/a:pivotal_software:spring_data_commons

Synopsis

The version of Spring Data Commons installed on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Spring Data Commons installed on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability. Spring Data Commons, versions prior to 1.13 to 1.13.10, 2.0 to 2.0.5, and older unsupported versions, contain a property binder vulnerability caused by improper neutralization of special elements. An unauthenticated remote malicious user (or attacker) can supply specially crafted request parameters against Spring Data REST backed HTTP resources or using Spring Data's projection-based request payload binding hat can lead to a remote code execution attack.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Spring Data Commons version 1.13.11, 2.0.6, or later.
