🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)

📋 Description

In Spring Framework versions 6.0.0 - 6.0.13, it is possible for a user to provide specially crafted HTTP requests that may cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.

Specifically, an application is vulnerable when all of the following are true:

  • the application uses Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux
  • io.micrometer:micrometer-core is on the classpath
  • an ObservationRegistry is configured in the application to record observations

Typically, Spring Boot applications need the org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-actuator dependency to meet all conditions.

🎯 Affected products1

  • maven/org.springframework:spring-webmvc:>= 6.0.0, < 6.0.14
