AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:L/SA:N

Impact

What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?
SseStream. transform() interpolates message.type and message.id directly into Server-Sent Events text protocol output without sanitizing newline characters (r, ). Since the SSE protocol treats both r and as field delimiters and `
as event boundaries, an attacker who can influence these fields through upstream data sources can inject arbitrary SSE events, spoof event types, and corrupt reconnection state. Spring Framework's own security patch ([6e97587](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/commit/6e9758700a4946be1dca85ca937ef2603e291301)) validates these same fields (id, event`) for the same reason.
Actual impact:
  • Event spoofing: Attacker forges SSE events with arbitrary event: types, causing client-side EventSource.addEventListener() callbacks to fire for wrong event types.
  • Data injection: Attacker injects arbitrary data: payloads, potentially triggering XSS if the client renders SSE data as HTML without sanitization.
  • Reconnection corruption: Attacker injects id: fields, corrupting the Last-Event-ID header on reconnection, causing the client to miss or replay events.
  • Attack precondition: Requires the developer to map user-influenced data to the type or id fields of SSE messages. Direct HTTP request input does not reach these fields without developer code bridging the gap.
