Spring Cloud Gateway SSL Bundle Configuration Bypass Vulnerability

Vulnerability

A vulnerability exists in Spring Cloud Gateway 4.2.0, where the SSL bundle configuration specified by the 'spring.ssl.bundle' property is ignored, defaulting to the standard SSL settings instead. This issue arises because the 4.2.x branch is no longer supported, and users are encouraged to upgrade to version 5.0.2 or 5.1.1, the current supported releases.

Impact

This vulnerability could lead to improper SSL configuration, potentially allowing for man-in-the-middle attacks or other security issues related to SSL/TLS.

Remediation

Users should upgrade to Spring Cloud Gateway version 4.2.1 or any newer release. For those not using an enterprise version, upgrading to 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 is recommended.
