CVE-2023-20862 - Medium Severity Vulnerability
Spring Security
Library home page: https://spring.io/projects/spring-security
Dependency Hierarchy: - webdocs-actuator-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar (Root Library) - webdocs-commons-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar - spring-boot-starter-security-2.7.5.jar - :x: **spring-security-web-5.7.4.jar** (Vulnerable Library)
Found in HEAD commit: 2cda59cc9ba15234ad74bb5750717c564aad3b18
Found in base branch: master
In Spring Security, versions 5.7.x prior to 5.7.8, versions 5.8.x prior to 5.8.3, and versions 6.0.x prior to 6.0.3, the logout support does not properly clean the security context if using serialized versions. Additionally, it is not possible to explicitly save an empty security context to the HttpSessionSecurityContextRepository. This vulnerability can keep users authenticated even after they performed logout. Users of affected versions should apply the following mitigation. 5.7.x users should upgrade to 5.7.8. 5.8.x users should upgrade to 5.8.3. 6.0.x users should upgrade to 6.0.3.
