Asymmetric denial of service In org.springframework:spring-webmvc

Description

Spring Framework vulnerable to denial of service In Spring Framework versions 6.0.0 - 6.0.13, it is possible for a user to provide specially crafted HTTP requests that may cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.

Specifically, an application is vulnerable when all of the following are true:

    the application uses Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux

    io.micrometer:micrometer-core is on the classpath

    an ObservationRegistry is configured in the application to record observations

Typically, Spring Boot applications need the org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-actuator dependency to meet all conditions.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
