CVE-2020-5397 @ Maven-org.springframework:spring-webmvc-3.2.4.RELEASE

[cxronen]

Vulnerable Package issue exists @ Maven-org.springframework:spring-webmvc-3.2.4.RELEASE in branch master

Spring Framework is vulnerable to CSRF attacks through CORS preflight requests that target Spring Web (spring-web module) endpoints in versions before 5.2.3 or Spring WebFlux (spring-webflux module) endpoints in versions 5.x before 5.2.3 or Spring WebMVC (spring-webmvc module) endpoints in versions before 5.2.3 . Only non-authenticated endpoints are vulnerable because preflight requests should not include credentials and therefore requests should fail authentication. However a notable exception to this are Chrome based browsers when using client certificates for authentication since Chrome sends TLS client certificates in CORS preflight requests in violation of spec requirements. No HTTP body can be sent or received as a result of this attack.
