CVE-2016-4977: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

October 18, 2018 (updated May 15, 2024)

When processing authorization requests using the whitelabel views in Spring Security OAuth 2.0.0 to 2.0.9 and 1.0.0 to 1.0.5, the response_type parameter value was executed as Spring SpEL which enabled a malicious user to trigger remote code execution via the crafting of the value for response_type.
