SCA: security update for org.springframework:spring-webflux, org.springframework:spring-webmvc (GHSA-7pm4-g2qj-j85x)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 422565

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Spring Framework, versions 5.2.x prior to 5.2.3 are vulnerable to CSRF attacks through CORS preflight
 requests that target Spring MVC (spring-webmvc module) or Spring WebFlux (spring-webflux module)
 endpoints. 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. (CVE-2020-5397)
