CVE-2015-5211
Under some situations, the Spring Framework 4.2.0 to 4.2.1, 4.0.0 to 4.1.7, 3.2.0 to 3.2.14 and older unsupported versions is vulnerable to a Reflected File Download (RFD) attack.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.57%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
