high Nessus Plugin ID 133148

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host contains a web application framework library that is affected by a reflected file download vulnerability.

Description

The remote host contains a Spring Framework library version that is 5.0.x prior to 5.0.16 or 5.1.x prior to 5.1.13 or 5.2.x prior to 5.2.3. It is, therefore, affected by a reflected file download vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this tricking user to click on a URL for trusted domain. Upon clicking on the malicious link, the victim will be presented with a download which appears to have originated from a trusted domain.
