72
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-1270 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability affecting Spring Framework versions 5.0 prior to 5.0.5 and 4.3 prior to 4.3.15, specifically when applications expose STOMP over WebSocket endpoints with an in-memory STOMP broker. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to craft a malicious message, leading to complete compromise of the affected system. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (CRITICAL) and an EPSS score indicating high exploitability, the vulnerability poses a significant risk due to its network attack vector and low attack complexity. While no public exploit code is currently available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB, the vulnerability has garnered community discussion and media coverage, including a patch for SAP HANA Streaming Analytics.
