What it is about
Spring Security ist ein Framework, das Authentifizierung, Autorisierung und Schutz vor gängigen Angriffen bietet. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle in VMware Tanzu Spring Security ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen und möglicherweise weitere Angriffe durchzuführen, beispielsweise zur Offenlegung vertraulicher Informationen.
Under what conditions?
Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.
What can happen in the worst case
An attacker could use the vulnerability to
- Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen
- möglicherweise weitere Angriffe durchzuführen
- beispielsweise zur Offenlegung vertraulicher Informationen
