Vulnerability Details

Pivotal Spring Framework through 5.3.16 suffers from a potential remote code execution (RCE) issue if used for Java deserialization of untrusted data. Depending on how the library is implemented within a product, this issue may or not occur, and authentication may be required. NOTE: the vendor's position is that untrusted data is not an intended use case. The product's behavior will not be changed because some users rely on deserialization of trusted data.
Mend Note: After conducting further research, Mend has determined that all versions of spring-web up to version 6.0.0 are vulnerable to CVE-2016-1000027.

The vulnerable code path of Spring Framework is not used in Lowkey Vault. Also, Lowkey Vault is only expected to receive controlled inputs during intended use (as it is only expected to be called from tests and should run only while the tests are executed). Due to these, I am marking this as invalid. Will be fixed during the update to 6.0.0 in #373 later this year.
