  Specifically, an application is vulnerable when all of the following are true:

  - the application uses Spring MVC

  - Spring Security 6.1.6+ or 6.2.1+ is on the classpath

  Typically, Spring Boot applications need the org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web and
  org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security dependencies to meet all conditions.");

  #
  # - https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/releases/tag/v3.2.2
  # - https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/releases/tag/v3.1.8
  #
  # we can see that these versions had updated Spring Framework to the following versions which
  # fixed this flaw (see advisory):
  #
  # - Spring Boot version 3.1.8 updated Spring Framework to version 6.0.16
  # - Spring Boot version 3.2.2 updated Spring Framework to version 6.1.3
