Technical details
Spring Cloud Gateway (WebMVC and WebFlux) is vulnerable to an origin validation error (CWE-346) where it fails to properly sanitize or validate 'X-Forwarded-For' and 'Forwarded' headers from untrusted proxies. In specific configuration scenarios, the gateway forwards these headers as-is to downstream services. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by injecting malicious headers to spoof client IP addresses or bypass IP-based access control lists (ACLs). The vulnerability is resolved in versions 3.1.13, 4.1.13, 4.2.9, 4.3.5, and 5.0.2.
