CVE-2018-1259

HIGH 7.5EPSS 4.84%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.84%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

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.
