Specifically, an application is vulnerable if all of the conditions are true:
- The application has Spring MVC auto-configuration enabled. This is the case by default if Spring MVC is on the classpath.
- The application makes use of Spring Boot's welcome page support, either static or templated.
- Your application is deployed behind a proxy which caches 404 responses.
