Spring Security Header Injection

Posted Sep 9, 2011

Authored by SpringSource Security Team, David Mas

Spring Security allows the use of a parameter (named "spring-security-redirect" by default) to determine the location URL to which a user will be redirected after logging in. This will normally be submitted as part of the login request, so is deemed to be an acceptable use of remote supplied data. However, the functionality is in a base class which is also shared by logout code, so a logout URL could be maliciously constructed to contain a version of this parameter which contained CRLF characters in order to inject additional headers or split the response. Versions 2.0.0 to 2.0.6 and 3.0.0 to 3.0.5 are affected.
