CVE-2017-8039

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Pivotal Spring Web Flow versions prior to 2.5

Description An issue was discovered in Pivotal Spring Web Flow where applications that do not change the value of the useSpringBinding property, which is disabled by default, can be vulnerable to malicious EL expressions in view states that process form submissions but do not have a sub-element to declare explicit data binding property mappings.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.5, consider enabling the useSpringBinding property to mitigate the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of view states that process form submissions without explicit data binding property mappings until a patch is available.
