Vulnerability Data

Spring Framework, versions 5.0 prior to 5.0.5 and versions 4.3 prior to 4.3.16 and older unsupported versions, allow applications to expose STOMP over WebSocket endpoints with a simple, in-memory STOMP broker through the spring-messaging module. A malicious user (or attacker)…

can craft a message to the broker that can lead to a remote code execution attack. This CVE addresses the partial fix for CVE-2018-1270 in the 4.3.x branch of the Spring Framework.

Likely ATT&CK TechniquesAI

Techniques this vulnerability likely enables, inferred from its description, weakness type, and attributed-actor tradecraft. Confidence is per-technique.

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Accessconfidence: HIGH
The vulnerability allows remote code execution via a crafted STOMP message to an exposed WebSocket endpoint, directly enabling exploitation of a public-facing application.
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter Executionconfidence: MEDIUM
Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution on the server, which can be leveraged through a command or scripting interpreter.

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.

addresses: CWE-358

Assessments identify and document improperly implemented security checks, allowing fixes that reduce exploitation of flawed checks.

addresses: CWE-94

Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.

addresses: CWE-94

Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.

addresses: CWE-94

Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.

addresses: CWE-94

Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

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 none match
prevents

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.

detects

Security testing in development and acceptance validates that required security checks function as specified.

prevents

Use of cryptography control depends on correct implementation of standardized cryptographic checks.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates verification that security checks required by standards are correctly implemented.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for correct implementation of standardized security mechanisms.

prevents

Secure system architecture and engineering principles require faithful realization of protocol-level security checks.

prevents

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.
