Apache Ant could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an insecure temporary file flaw. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject modified source files into the build process.

Pivotal Spring Framework could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by improper validation of user request. An attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to configure Spring MVC to serve static resources.

Pivotal Spring Framework could allow a remote authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by improper input validation. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges.

A flaw was found in Spring Framework, versions 5.0.x prior to 5.0.6, versions 4.3.x prior to 4.3.17, and older unsupported versions allows applications to expose STOMP over WebSocket endpoints with a simple, in-memory STOMP broker through the spring-messaging module. A malicious user (or attacker) can craft a message to the broker that can lead to a regular expression, denial of service attack.

CVE-2018-1270, which permitted a malicious user to craft a STOMP message that could lead to remote code execution, was not fully addressed in the 4.3.x branch of the Spring Framework.

Pivotal Spring Framework could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the exposure of STOMP over WebSocket endpoints with a STOMP broker through the spring-messaging module. By sending a specially-crafted message, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.

In Spring Framework versions 5.2.0 - 5.2.8, 5.1.0 - 5.1.17, 5.0.0 - 5.0.18, 4.3.0 - 4.3.28, and older unsupported versions, the protections against RFD attacks from CVE-2015-5211 may be bypassed depending on the browser used through the use of a jsessionid path parameter.
