Vulnerability Details
DESCRIPTION: Vmware Tanzu Spring Framework is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw with a STOMP over WebSocket endpoint. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/226492 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2022-22968
DESCRIPTION: Spring Framework could provide weaker than expected security, caused by a data binding rules vulnerability in which the patterns for disallowedFields on a DataBinder are case sensitive. The case sensitivity allows that a field is insufficiently protected unless it is listed with both upper and lower case for the first character of the field. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system.
CVSS Base score: 3.7
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/224374 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-22970
DESCRIPTION: Vmware Tanzu Spring Framework is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in the handling of file uploads. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
