Vmware · Vmware Spring · CVE-2024-38820
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
VMware Spring versions prior to 6.1.13
**Description**
The issue concerns improper access controls via `DataBinder` and `String.toLowerCase()`, which has locale-dependent exceptions. This could result in fields not being protected as expected, potentially leading to unauthorized access.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 6.1.13, upgrade the affected components immediately to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive fields until the upgrade is applied.
