CVE-2015-5211

What is CVE-2015-5211?

The Spring Framework versions 4.2.0 to 4.2.1, 4.0.0 to 4.1.7, and 3.2.0 to 3.2.14 are susceptible to a Reflected File Download (RFD) attack. In specific scenarios, this vulnerability allows an attacker to construct a malicious URL that triggers a download of a batch script instead of rendering it in the browser. This exploit can lead to unintended file downloads that include input reflected in the server's response, potentially compromising user security.
