The remote host contains a Spring Framework version is affected by a path traversal vulnerability.
Applications serving static resources through the functional web frameworks WebMvc.fn or WebFlux.fn are vulnerable to path traversal attacks. An attacker can craft malicious HTTP requests and obtain any file on the file system that is also accessible to the process in which the Spring application is running.
Specifically, an application is vulnerable when both of the following are true:
However, malicious requests are blocked and rejected when any of the following is true:
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
