Technical details
The vulnerability is an open redirect flaw in Spring Framework's UrlHandlerFilter component, which is present in both Spring MVC and Spring WebFlux variants. When the filter is configured with overly broad URL matching patterns, an attacker can craft a specially designed request to cause the filter to redirect the user to an arbitrary external URL. The attack requires user interaction (clicking a malicious link) and network accessibility to the affected application. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to redirect users to untrusted sites, facilitating phishing attacks or credential theft. Patches are available in Spring Framework versions beyond 7.0.8 and 6.2.19.
