CVE-2018-1199: Improper Input Validation

March 16, 2018 (updated July 3, 2019)

Spring Security does not consider URL path parameters when processing security constraints. By adding a URL path parameter with special encodings, an attacker may be able to bypass a security constraint. In this particular attack, different character encodings used in path parameters allows secured Spring MVC static resource URLs to be bypassed.
