Spring Security Advisories

Description Applications that configure the WebFlowELExpressionParser are vulnerable to the use of malicious Unified EL expressions. Pre-conditions: The application explicitly configures the WebFlowELExpressionParser or its base class "ELExpressionParser". The…

Description Spring Web Flow's JavaScript RemotingHandler renders the body of an error response as HTML even when the response is not "text/html", which can result in a scripting attack in the user's browser if the error response from the server contains error…

Description Wss4jSecurityInterceptor initialized its BSP (WS-I Basic Security Profile) compliance flag so that inbound validation disabled WSS4J BSP enforcement on RequestData, contradicting the intended secure default and published setter contract. Services…

Description X509AuthenticationProvider could issue a fully authenticated X509AuthenticationToken when a presented certificate mapped to UserDetails, without applying Spring Security’s standard account lifecycle checks (disabled, locked, expired, or credentials…

Description Wss4jSecurityInterceptor defaulted allowRSA15KeyTransportAlgorithm to true, overriding Apache WSS4J’s safer default for validation RequestData. Inbound WS-Security decryption could therefore accept RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 (rsa-1_5) encrypted key material…

Description Several Spring WS integration paths with Spring Security could surface detailed account state (for example locked or disabled user semantics) to remote SOAP clients through exception messages or callback outcomes, instead of failing with generic…

Description Jaxp13XPathTemplate evaluated XPath expressions for StreamSource and SAXSource inputs using a code path that parsed attacker-controlled XML with the JDK’s default DocumentBuilderFactory behavior instead of Spring’s hardened parser configuration…

Description When WS-Addressing is used with non-anonymous ReplyTo or FaultTo addresses, Spring WS may initiate outbound connections through configured WebServiceMessageSender instances to destinations taken directly from request headers without verifying that…

Description Wss4jSecurityInterceptor did not consistently wire Apache WSS4J ReplayCache instances into RequestData for validation-time checks. As a result, protections against replay of UsernameToken nonces and creation timestamps, Timestamp elements, and…

Description An application using spring-security-saml2-service-provider and the REDIRECT binding for SAML 2.0 Login or Logout may be vulnerable to a denial of service by way of an unbounded writer that inflates the compressed SAML payload into memory. Affected…
