CVE-2018-1273 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. CISA has confirmed active exploitation in the wild. EPSS estimates a 95.65% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
