Description

This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-48976)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to Apache Commons FileUpload provided a hard-coded limit of 10kB for the size of the headers associated with a multipart request. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22228)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to the application.

The vulnerability exists due to BCryptPasswordEncoder does not properly enforce maximum password length and will return "true" for passwords larger than 72 characters as long as the first 72 characters are the same. This can be used set weak passwords that can be easily brute-forced.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-5115)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-7962)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SMTP commands on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when handling CR-LF characters in UTF-8 encoding. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary SMTP commands on the server.


5) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22968)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to patterns for disallowedFields on a DataBinder are case sensitive, which means a field is not effectively protected unless it is listed with both upper and lower case for the first character of the field, including upper and lower case for the first character of all nested fields within the property path. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions by passing case sensitive data to the application.


6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-55163)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22227)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to Reactor Netty HTTP client leaks credentials in some specific scenarios with chained redirects. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information. 


8) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38819)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in applications that serve static resources through the functional web frameworks WebMvc.fn or WebFlux.fn. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.


9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38828)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input  passed via Spring MVC controller method with @RequestBody byte[] parameter. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


10) Missing authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22235)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in EndpointRequest.to() implementation. The function creates a matcher for null/** if the actuator endpoint, for which the EndpointRequest has been created, is disabled or not exposed. A remote non-authenticated attacker can gain unauthorized access to the application.


11) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38820)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to String.toLowerCase() has some Locale dependent exceptions when handling case insensitive patterns in DataBinder. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions by passing specially crafted data to the application.


12) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22233)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to String.toLowerCase() has some Locale dependent exceptions when handling case insensitive patterns in DataBinder. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions by passing specially crafted data to the application.

Note, the vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU98795 (CVE-2024-38820).
