GHSA-wwpq-f5c3-7hvx

Spring Boot accepts predictable temp directory without ownership verification

Quick fix

GHSA-wwpq-f5c3-7hvx — org.springframework.boot:spring-boot: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

# pom.xml: bump <version>4.0.6</version> for org.springframework.boot:spring-boot

Details

A local attacker on the same host as the application may be able to take control of the directory used by `ApplicationTemp`. When `server.servlet.session.persistent` is set to `true` and the attack persists across application restarts, this may allow the attacker to read session information and hijack authenticated users or deploy a gadget chain and execute code as the application's user.

Affected: Spring Boot 4.0.0–4.0.5 (fix 4.0.6), 3.5.0–3.5.13 (fix 3.5.14), 3.4.0–3.4.15 (fix 3.4.16), 3.3.0–3.3.18 (fix 3.3.19), 2.7.0–2.7.32 (fix 2.7.33); predictable temp directory / `ApplicationTemp` ownership verification. Versions that are no longer supported are also affected per vendor advisory.
