Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in VMware Tanzu Spring Security ausnutzen, um Dateien zu manipulieren, um Informationen offenzulegen, um einen Cross-Site Scripting Angriff durchzuführen und um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen.

Under what conditions?

The BSI does not name any particular preconditions. Exploitable remotely according to the BSI.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • Dateien zu manipulieren
  • Informationen offenzulegen
