1) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1273)
CWE-ID: CWE-113 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers ('HTTP Response Splitting')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper neutralization of special elements. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted request parameters against Spring Data REST backed HTTP resources or use Spring Data's projection-based request payload binding hat and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
