The Spring Security SAML project has been an integral part of the Spring ecosystem since its inception nearly 9 years ago. This critically important project was born through the incredible effort and contributions of Vladimír Schäfer. I’d like to take the time to personally thank Vladimír and our fantastic community for their tireless work. Without all of their efforts, this project would not be what it is today.

Vladimír, our amazing community, and the Spring engineering team are planning to team up to enhance Spring Security SAML to achieve the following primary goals:

• Ensuring all dependencies are up to date

• Ensure all Spring Security APIs do not expose any dependency APIs

• Graduate Spring Security SAML from an extension into Spring Security proper

This week, the software world found out that SAML Vulnerabilities Affecting Multiple Implementations were discovered. If you use Spring Security SAML’s defaults, you are not impacted by this vulnerability.

The underlying implementation that Spring Security SAML uses is Shibboleth’s OpenSAML Java library. The OpenSAML Java implementation was not listed in the libraries that contain the vulnerability (Shibboleth openSAML C++ was vulnerable). However, if the ParserPool has been customized, you may be impacted.

NOT Safe Configurations

Specifically, if the application explicitly sets the BasicParserPool or the StaticBasicParserPool to have ignoreComments = false, it is vulnerable to the…

On behalf of the community I’m pleased to announce the release of Spring Session BOM Apple-SR1. With the changes to Spring Session modules described in 2.0.0.RELEASE announcement, the addition of bill of materials (BOM) module was a logical next step.

Note

The originally released Apple-RELEASE contained a glitch in published BOM so make sure you use Apple-SR1.

The BOM provides dependency management for Spring Session core modules (which include Data Redis, Hazelcast and JDBC) and Spring Session Data MongoDB. The following table provides an overview of all…

On behalf of the team, it is my very great pleasure to announce that Spring Boot 2.0 is now generally available as 2.0.0.RELEASE from repo.spring.io and Maven Central!

This release is the culmination of 17 months work and over 6800 commits by 215 different individuals. A massive thank you to everyone that has contributed, and to all the early adopters that have been providing vital feedback on the milestones.

This is the first major revision of Spring Boot since 1.0 was released almost 4 years ago. It's also the first GA version of Spring Boot that provides support for Spring Framework 5.0.
