Required action: Apply updates per vendor instructions.
CVE-2022-22963
CriticalCVSS 9.8KEVSummary
In Spring Cloud Function versions 3.1.6, 3.2.2 and older unsupported versions, when using routing functionality it is possible for a user to provide a specially crafted SpEL as a routing-expression that may result in remote code execution and access to local resources.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary code and access local system resources, potentially leading to full server compromise. The vulnerability is particularly dangerous as it may not require authentication in configurations with routing enabled.
Recommendation
Upgrade Spring Cloud Function to version 3.1.7, 3.2.3 or later. If upgrading is not possible, disable the routing functionality or restrict access to the endpoints.
