Vulnerability Details

Pivotal Spring Framework through 5.3.16 suffers from a potential remote code execution (RCE) issue if used for Java deserialization of untrusted data. Depending on how the library is implemented within a product, this issue may or not occur, and authentication may be required. NOTE: the vendor's position is that untrusted data is not an intended use case. The product's behavior will not be changed because some users rely on deserialization of trusted data.

Research direction

Start with samples/client/petstore/java/resttemplate-withXml/build.gradle and inspect the spring-web dependency at version 4.3.9.RELEASE. Update it to the stated fix version, 4.3.26.RELEASE, then run the sample's available Gradle verification. Done means the vulnerable version is no longer referenced in that dependency file.
