What is CVE-2018-11040?

The Spring Framework allows web applications to inadvertently enable cross-domain requests via JSONP (JSON with Padding) when specific components, such as AbstractJsonpResponseBodyAdvice and MappingJackson2JsonView, are utilized. This creates potential risk as it permits remote servers to execute requests that should be restricted, potentially leading to unauthorized data access. While these features aren’t enabled by default, their presence in configurations could expose applications to vulnerabilities, necessitating proactive security measures to mitigate potential threats.

Affected Version(s)

Spring Framework 5.0.x < 5.0.7

Spring Framework 4.3.x < 4.3.18
