Last modified

CVE-2018-1259 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Spring Data Commons, versions 1.13 prior to 1.13.12 and 2.0 prior to 2.0.7, used in combination with XMLBeam 1.4.14 or earlier versions, contains a property binder vulnerability caused by improper restriction of XML external entity references as underlying library XMLBeam does not restrict external reference expansion. An unauthenticated remote malicious user can supply specially crafted request parameters against Spring Data's projection-based request payload binding to access arbitrary files on the system.. EPSS estimates a 5.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
