Overview
While investigating the Spring Framework RCE vulnerability CVE-2022-22965 and the suggested workaround, we realized that the disallowedFields
configuration setting on WebDataBinder
is not intuitive and is not clearly documented. We have fixed that but also decided to be on the safe side and announce a follow-up CVE, in order to ensure application developers are alerted and have a chance to review their configuration.
We have released Spring Framework 5.3.19 and 5.2.21 which contain the fix. Spring Boot 2.6.7 and 2.…

Spring Cloud Stream
- Both Kafka and RabbitMQ binders for Spring Cloud Stream have been migrated as part of the core Spring Cloud Stream repository. With this change, Spring Cloud Stream now follows a mono-repo approach where all the framework-related codebase for Spring Cloud Stream is now part of a single repository. See more details here for the Kafka binder and here for the RabbitMQ binder. We recommend filing new feature requests and bug reports for Kafka and RabbitMQ binders in the core repository.
- Introduced initial support for a new reactive Kafka binder based on Reactor Kafka. This support contains consumer and producer bindings using Reactor Kafka behind the scenes. See this issue…

Spring Framework RCE, Mitigation Alternative
Yesterday we announced a Spring Framework RCE vulnerability CVE-2022-22965, listing Apache Tomcat as one of several preconditions. The Apache Tomcat team has since released versions 10.0.20, 9.0.62, and 8.5.78 all of which close the attack vector on Tomcat's side. While the vulnerability is not in Tomcat itself, in real world situations, it is important to be able to choose among multiple upgrade paths that in turn provides flexibility and layered protection.
Upgrading to Spring Framework 5.3.18+ or 5.2.20+ continues to be our main recommendation not only because it addresses the root cause…
