Description David Jorm 2013-12-09 20:33:19 EST

It was found that the org.spring.web.util.JavaScriptUtils.javaScriptEscape method insufficiently escaped some characters. Applications using this method to escape user-supplied content that will be rendered in HTML 5 documents may expose cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws.

Comment 1 David Jorm 2013-12-09 20:36:18 EST

Upstream bug:

https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SPR-9983

Comment 2 Vincent Danen 2014-01-14 18:22:57 EST

This affects Spring MVC versions 3.0.0 to 3.2.1, however upstream notes that earlier unsupported versions may also be affected.
