Spring Framework, versions 5.0 prior to 5.0.5 and versions 4.3 prior to 4.3.15 and older unsupported versions, allow applications to expose
Noroxi assessment
Priority: This week (action score 62/100)
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 77.4% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.5% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: libspring-java (Debian:12) 4.3.19-1; libspring-java (Debian:9) 4.3.5-1+deb9u1; org.springframework:spring-messaging (Maven) 5.0.5.RELEASE, 4.3.16.RELEASE.
Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to libspring-java (Debian:12) 4.3.19-1; libspring-java (Debian:9) 4.3.5-1+deb9u1; org.springframework:spring-messaging (Maven) 5.0.5.RELEASE, 4.3.16.RELEASE or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Spring Framework, versions 5.0 prior to 5.0.5 and versions 4.3 prior to 4.3.15 and older unsupported versions, allow applications to expose STOMP over WebSocket endpoints with a simple, in-memory STOMP broker through the spring-messaging module. A malicious user (or attacker) can craft a message to the broker that can lead to a remote code execution attack.
