The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an input validation error caused by using the wildcard ("**") as a pattern in Spring Security configuration with the mvcRequestMatcher, which creates a mismatch in pattern matching between Spring Security and Spring MVC. A remote attacker can bypass certain security restrictions.
2) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20862)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to the logout support does not properly clean the security context if using serialized versions. A remote attacker can save an empty security context to the HttpSessionSecurityContextRepository and keep users authenticated even after they performed logout.
3) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15708)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Portal (Apache Commons) component in PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.
4) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1370)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion when processing nested arrays and objects. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted JSON data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20861)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of SpEL expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20863)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote user can use a specially crafted SpEL expression and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24998)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to Apache Commons FileUpload does not limit the number of request parts. A remote attacker can initiate a series of uploads and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41946)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
