Pivotal Software Spring Security

CVE-2018-1258

Spring Framework version 5.0.5 when used in combination with any versions of Spring Security contains an authorization bypass when using method security. An unauthorized malicious user can gain unauthorized access to methods that should be restricted.

What this means for your business

  • It affects Pivotal Software Spring Security. It matters if your company, or a supplier that handles your data, runs it.
  • An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, with an ordinary user login, and without anyone at your company clicking anything.
  • FIRST's prediction model gives it a 2% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 83% of all known flaws.

What to do

  1. 1Check whether your company or your suppliers run Pivotal Software Spring Security, and which version. The affected versions are listed further down this page.
  2. 2If you do, apply the vendor's fix. A patch or vendor advisory has been published.
