CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2018-1273 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Broadcom Spring Data Commons. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Junk Data (T1001.001); ranked in the top 0.1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
Spring Data Commons versions prior to 1.13.10 and 2.0.5, along with older unsupported releases, contain a property binder vulnerability stemming from improper neutralization of special elements. The flaw resides in the component responsible for binding request data and affects Spring Data REST HTTP resources as well as projection-based request payload handling.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply crafted request parameters to trigger the issue, resulting in remote code execution with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8 under the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H and is associated with CWE-94.
Pivotal and Oracle advisories direct users to upgrade to the fixed releases 1.13.10 or 2.0.5; the same guidance appears in related Apache project mailing-list discussions referencing the CVE. No information on observed in-the-wild exploitation is provided in the source material.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).
PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.
