Aliases CVE-2018-11040
GHSA-f26x-pr96-vw86
Summary Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere Spring Framework allows web applications to enable cross-domain requests via JSONP (JSON with Padding) through `AbstractJsonpResponseBodyAdvice` for REST controllers and `MappingJackson2JsonView` for browser requests. Both are not enabled by default in Spring Framework nor Spring Boot, however, when `MappingJackson2JsonView` is configured in an application, JSONP support is automatically ready to use through the `jsonp` and `callback` JSONP parameters, enabling cross-domain requests.
