{"cve":"CVE-2018-1199","nvd":{"published":"2018-03-16T20:29:00.430","modified":"2026-06-17T01:50:41.363","status":"Modified","description":"Spring Security (Spring Security 4.1.x before 4.1.5, 4.2.x before 4.2.4, and 5.0.x before 5.0.1; and Spring Framework 4.3.x before 4.3.14 and 5.0.x before 5.0.3) 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. The root cause of this issue is a lack of clarity regarding the handling of path parameters in the Servlet Specification. Some Servlet containers include path parameters in the value returned for getPathInfo() and some do not. Spring Security uses the value returned by getPathInfo() as part of the process of mapping requests to security constraints. In this particular attack, different character encodings used in path parameters allows secured Spring MVC static resource URLs to be bypassed.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","score":5.3},"cwes":["CWE-20"],"references":["https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:2405","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/4ed49b103f64a0cecb38064f26cbf1389afc12124653da2d35166dbe%40%3Cissues.activemq.apache.org%3E","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ab825fcade0b49becfa30235b3d54f4a51bb74ea96b6c9adb5d1378c%40%3Cissues.activemq.apache.org%3E","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/dcf8599b80e43a6b60482607adb76c64672772dc2d9209ae2170f369%40%3Cissues.activemq.apache.org%3E","https://pivotal.io/security/cve-2018-1199"],"products":["oracle:rapid_planning","oracle:retail_xstore_point_of_service","redhat:fuse","vmware:spring_framework","vmware:spring_security"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:48:50.842038930+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2018-1199","score":0.02803,"percentile":0.86482,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-v596-fwhq-8x48","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-v596-fwhq-8x48","summary":"Improper Input Validation in org.springframework.security:spring-security-core, org.springframework.security:spring-security-core , and org.springframework:spring-core","modified":"2024-03-15T16:11:19.988461Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.springframework.security:spring-security-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.springframework.security/spring-security-core","ranges":[">=4.2.0 <4.2.4"],"fixed":["4.2.4"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.springframework.security:spring-security-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.springframework.security/spring-security-core","ranges":[">=5.0.0 <5.0.1"],"fixed":["5.0.1"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.springframework:spring-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.springframework/spring-core","ranges":[">=4.3.0 <4.3.14"],"fixed":["4.3.14"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.springframework:spring-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.springframework/spring-core","ranges":[">=5.0.0 <5.0.3"],"fixed":["5.0.3"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.springframework.security:spring-security-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.springframework.security/spring-security-core","ranges":[">=4.1.0 <4.1.5"],"fixed":["4.1.5"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
