Summary

Vulnerabilities affecting certain versions of the Spring Framework for Java (CVE-2022-22965, CVE-2022-22950) and Spring Cloud Function (CVE-2022-22963) were recently disclosed.

* Packaged as a traditional WAR (in contrast to a Spring Boot executable jar).
* spring-webmvc or spring-webflux dependency.
* Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 to 5.3.17, 5.2.0 to 5.2.19, and older versions.

CVE-2022-22963 affects versions 3.1.6 (or older) and 3.2.2 (or older) of Spring Cloud Function. CVE-2022-22963 has been mitigated in Spring Cloud Function versions 3.1.7 and 3.2.3. 

CVE-2022-22950 affects Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 - 5.3.16, 5.2.0 - 5.2.19, and older, unsupported versions.
