Assessment
Why it matters
EPSS is 0.2%; technical severity is CVSS 5.9.
When using spring-restdocs-webtestclient or spring-restdocs-restassured to document a remote API accessed over HTTP, an attacker who compromises the API or tricks the user into documenting a malicious API can perform an XXE injection attack when the documentation-generating tests are next executed. Affected versions: Spring REST Docs 4.0.0; 3.0.0 through 3.0.5; 2.0.0.RELEASE through 2.0.8.RELEASE.
Who should care
- Teams operating Spring Rest Docs
- Vulnerability and exposure management teams
- Security operations teams monitoring exploitation activity
