spring-framework: ReDoS Attack with spring-messaging
Published May 11, 2018
6.5
MEDIUMCVSS 3.1
EPSS 3.04%
Description
Spring Framework, versions 5.0.x prior to 5.0.6, versions 4.3.x prior to 4.3.17, and older unsupported versions allows 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 regular expression, denial of service attack.
