In March 2022, three critical vulnerabilities, including the notorious Spring4Shell, were discovered in the Java Spring Framework, a widely used open-source platform for Java-based application development. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) reported extensive attempts to exploit these vulnerabilities shortly after their disclosure, with Spring4Shell posing a significant threat due to its potential for remote code execution (RCE) with a CVSS score of 9.8. This vulnerability affects applications using Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 to 5.3.17, 5.2.0 to 5.2.19, and older versions, particularly when deployed with Apache Tomcat and JDK 9 or higher. Organizations are urged to upgrade to patched versions to mitigate risks and can utilize tools like Dynatrace Application Security, Dependency Check, and Apache Maven Dependency plugin to identify and manage these vulnerabilities. Dynatrace offers a comprehensive solution for detecting and prioritizing remediation efforts by automatically identifying affected components across diverse environments.
