Attribute	Details
Library	Spring Beans
Description	Spring Beans
Language	JAVA
Vulnerability	Remote Code Execution (RCE)
Vulnerability description	spring-beans is vulnerable to remote code execution. Using Spring Parameter Binding with non-basic parameter types, such as POJOs, allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system by writing or uploading arbitrary files (e.g .jsp files) to a location that can be loaded by the application server.

Initial analysis at time of writing shows that exploitation of the vulnerability is only possible with JRE 9 and above, and Apache Tomcat 9 and above, and that the vulnerability requires the usage of Spring parameter binding with non-basic parameter types such as POJOs.
