Recommendations For Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 through 5.3.16, consider upgrading to a newer version to resolve the issue. For Spring Framework versions 5.2.0.RELEASE through 5.2.19.RELEASE, consider upgrading to a newer version to resolve the issue.

As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of SpEL expressions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
