An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-5055 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.springframework.security:spring-security-core (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.0.8\n- org.springframework.security:spring-security-core (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.0.8\n- org.springframework.security:spring-security-core (Maven): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.0.8\n- org.springframework.security:spring-security-core (Maven): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.0.8\n- org.springframework.security:spring-security-core (Maven): affected from 3.1.0; fixed in 3.1.3\n- org.springframework.security:spring-security-core (Maven): affected from 3.1.0; fixed in 3.1.3\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5055/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5055/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-5055","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5055/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-5055","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3533-rvpc-6x56"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java security library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can enumerate valid usernames by observing response time differences in login attempts due to missing password checks for non-existent users.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"springsource_spring_security","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"DaoAuthenticationProvider in VMware SpringSource Spring Security before 2.0.8, 3.0.x before 3.0.8, and 3.1.x before 3.1.3 does not check the password if the user is not found, which makes the response delay shorter and might allow remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames via a series of login requests.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in Spring Security","id":"CVE-2012-5055","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2012"},"n_packages":6,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5056"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.0.8"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.springframework.security:spring-security-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-3533-rvpc-6x56"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.0.8"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.springframework.security:spring-security-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.springframework.security/spring-security-core","source":"GHSA-3533-rvpc-6x56"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.0.8"],"introduced":["3.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.springframework.security:spring-security-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-3533-rvpc-6x56"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.0.8"],"introduced":["3.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.springframework.security:spring-security-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.springframework.security/spring-security-core","source":"GHSA-3533-rvpc-6x56"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.1.3"],"introduced":["3.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.springframework.security:spring-security-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-3533-rvpc-6x56"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.1.3"],"introduced":["3.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.springframework.security:spring-security-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.springframework.security/spring-security-core","source":"GHSA-3533-rvpc-6x56"}],"prev":{"headline":"Adobe Flash Player Integer Overflow","id":"CVE-2012-5054"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-12-05","related":[{"cvss_score":5.1,"headline":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization in Spring Security","id":"CVE-2011-2731","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-12-05"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Improper Control of Generation of Code in Spring Security","id":"CVE-2011-2732","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-12-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can enumerate valid usernames by observing response time differences in login attempts due to missing password checks for non-existent users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5055/"}
