CVE-2018-1273

Broadcom Spring Data Commons

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.

Exploitation status

CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
It is known to have been used in ransomware campaigns.
US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2022-04-15. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.
A vendor advisory or patch reference has been published.

Required action

Apply updates per vendor instructions.

CISA’s wording, unedited.

What the metrics mean

It is reachable over a network, without needing local access.
