Published May 25, 2021

Updated

In Spring Framework, versions 5.2.x prior to 5.2.15 and versions 5.3.x prior to 5.3.7, a WebFlux application is vulnerable to a privilege escalation: by (re)creating the temporary storage directory, a locally authenticated malicious user can read or modify files that have been uploaded to the WebFlux application, or overwrite arbitrary files with multipart request data.

Other sources

VMware Tanzu Spring Framework could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a flaw in the WebFlux application. By sending a specially-crafted request, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges to read or modify files in the WebFlux application, or overwrite arbitrary files with multipart request data.
