TL;DR

spring-cloud-config-server clones SVN repositories into spring.cloud.config.server.svn.basedir without protecting that directory against a time-of-check time-of-use race. A local high-privilege attacker can replace or redirect the base directory between the check and the clone. That can cause the server to read or write repository content outside the intended location. The patch closes the TOCTOU window around the SVN working directory.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and the Config Server clones SVN repositories using spring.cloud.config.server.svn.basedir.

Background info

spring-cloud-config-server is vulnerable to Race Condition (TOCTOU) in versions 0.0.1 - 5.0.4.

How to fix this

Upgrade the org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-config-server library to the patch version.
