🚨 High CVE Alert: CVE-2022-31690 🚨 This vulnerability affects Spring Security’s OAuth2 flow — where under certain conditions, an attacker can manipulate authorization requests and gain elevated privileges beyond what was intended. Why this matters: → Exploits a gap in how OAuth2 scopes are validated → Can grant broader access than originally authorized → Impacts both supported and older, unsupported versions If you’re running end-of-life Spring versions, there’s no upstream fix coming. HeroDevs Never-Ending Support (NES) for Spring provides patched, drop-in replacements so you can stay secure while planning your upgrade. Because the real risk isn’t just the vulnerability. It’s running software that won’t be fixed. #Spring #Java #CVE #AppSec #OpenSourceSecurity #DevSecOps #HeroDevs
