Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the spring-messaging module due to improper processing of messages by applications, which expose Simple Text Orientated Messaging Protocol (STOMP) over WebSocket endpoints with a simple, in-memory STOMP broker through the spring-messaging module. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted message and conduct ReDoS attack.
