Improper handling of case sensitivity in Spring Framework
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | org.springframework:spring-context | >= 5.3.0, < 5.3.19 | 5.3.19 |
| Maven | org.springframework:spring-context | < 5.2.21.RELEASE | 5.2.21.RELEASE |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
In Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 - 5.3.18, 5.2.0 - 5.2.20, and older unsupported versions, the 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. Versions 5.3.19 and 5.2.21 contain a patch for this issue.
