Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-37084 affects Spring Cloud Data Flow versions prior to 2.11.4. The flaw permits an arbitrary file write on the server file system through a specially crafted upload request submitted to the Skipper server API, which can result in full server compromise. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 and is associated with CWE-94.
An attacker with network access to the Skipper server API can exploit the issue without authentication or user interaction to place attacker-controlled files at arbitrary locations, enabling remote code execution or other post-exploitation actions that fully compromise the affected server.
The official advisory published at https://spring.io/security/cve-2024-37084 addresses the issue by directing users to upgrade to Spring Cloud Data Flow 2.11.4 or later.
The associated EPSS score remains elevated near its recorded peak of 0.8406.

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.
