CVE-2018-11039 affects Spring Framework versions 5.0.x prior to 5.0.7, 4.3.x prior to 4.3.18, and older unsupported versions, as well as products like Debian, Oracle, and VMware. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 5.9) allows web applications using the HiddenHttpMethodFilter to change HTTP request methods, including to TRACE. While it requires a pre-existing XSS vulnerability, an attacker could escalate this to a Cross-Site Tracing (XST) attack, potentially leading to high confidentiality impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
