spring-integration-core is vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Special Elements
63
Medium Risk
This Affects:
spring-integration-coreTL;DR
spring-integration-core EmbeddedHeadersJsonMessageMapper deserializes embedded JSON headers into MessageHeaders without filtering names. A wire peer can inject replyChannel, errorChannel, routingSlip, or json__TypeId__ and redirect downstream handling. Default ZeroMQ raw-byte receiving is one affected path. The patch sanitizes untrusted header names before they enter the message.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and EmbeddedHeadersJsonMessageMapper is used with default header parsing, such as on ZeroMqChannel.
Background info
spring-integration-core is vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in versions 0.0.1 - 7.0.5 and 7.1.0 - 7.1.0.
How to fix this
Upgrade the org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-core library to the patch version.
