Descriptions

Spring Data Commons, versions 1.13 prior to 1.13.12 and 2.0 prior to 2.0.7, used in combination with XMLBeam 1.4.14 or earlier versions, contains a property binder vulnerability caused by improper restriction of XML external entity references as underlying library XMLBeam does not restrict external reference expansion. An unauthenticated remote malicious user can supply specially crafted request parameters against Spring Data's projection-based request payload binding to access arbitrary files on the system.

Spring Data Commons, en versiones 1.13 anteriores a la 1.13.12 y versiones 2.0 anteriores a la 2.0.7, empleado junto con XMLBeam, en versiones 1.4.14 o anteriores, contiene una vulnerabilidad de enlazador de propiedades provocada por la restricción incorrecta de referencias de entidades externas XML, ya que la biblioteca subyacente XMLBeam no restringe la expansión de referencias externas. Un usuario remoto malicioso no autenticado puede proporcionar parámetros de petición especialmente manipulados al enlace de la carga útil de petición basada en proyección de Spring Data para acceder a archivos arbitrarios en el sistema.
