Summary

CVE-2024-22259 is a high-severity Open Redirect (CWE-601) vulnerability in Vmware Spring Framework. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Phishing (T1566); ranked in the top 16% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2024-22259 affects the UriComponentsBuilder component in Spring Framework. Applications that accept an externally supplied URL, such as via a query parameter, parse it with UriComponentsBuilder, and then perform host-based validation checks on the result can be tricked into treating a malicious URL as valid. The issue is functionally equivalent to CVE-2024-22243 but is triggered by different input patterns, and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply a crafted URL that bypasses the host validation logic. Successful exploitation may result in an open redirect that sends users to an attacker-controlled site or, when the parsed URL is subsequently used for outbound requests, a server-side request forgery that reaches internal resources.

Spring has published mitigation guidance at https://spring.io/security/cve-2024-22259, and NetApp has issued a corresponding advisory at https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20240524-0002/. The associated EPSS score has remained near 0.56 with only minimal movement between its recorded peak and current values.

Vulnerability Data

Applications that use UriComponentsBuilder in Spring Framework to parse an externally provided URL (e.g. through a query parameter) AND perform validation checks on the host of the parsed URL may be vulnerable to a open redirect https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/601.html attack or to…

a SSRF attack if the URL is used after passing validation checks. This is the same as CVE-2024-22243 https://spring.io/security/cve-2024-22243 , but with different input.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Input validation directly checks and rejects untrusted redirect targets before they are used in a response.

Information flow enforcement can restrict redirects to only approved/trusted destinations, stopping untrusted user-supplied URLs from being followed.
