spring-context-support is vulnerable to Path Traversal
59
Medium Risk
This Affects:
spring-context-supportTL;DR
spring-context-support SpringTemplateLoader does not reject backslash sequences in FreeMarker view names. A view name from untrusted input can escape the template directory and expose files that should not be readable. Applications that do not derive view names from untrusted input are not affected. The patch blocks backslash path traversal in template loading.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and a controller returns a FreeMarker view name derived from untrusted input through SpringTemplateLoader.
Background info
spring-context-support is vulnerable to Path Traversal in versions 0.0.1 - 7.0.8.
How to fix this
Upgrade the org.springframework:spring-context-support library to the patch version.
