Severity: Low Vendor: Spring by Pivotal Versions Affected: - Spring MVC 3.0.0 to 3.2.1 - Earlier unsupported versions may be affected Description: The JavaScriptUtils.javaScriptEscape() method did not escape all characters that are sensitive within either a JS single quoted string, JS double quoted string, or HTML script data context. In most cases this will result in an unexploitable parse error but in some cases it could result in an XSS vulnerability. Mitigation: Users of affected versions should apply the following mitigation: - Users of 3.x should upgrade to 3.2.2 or later Credit: This issue was originally reported to the Spring Framework developers by Jon Passki and the security implications brough to the attention of the Pivotal security team by Arun Neelicattu.
