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-2022-31691 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Spring by VMware. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\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-2022-31691/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31691/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-31691","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31691/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-31691","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r5cr-5j3q-vpf6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Spring Tools IDE","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via malicious YAML files processed by the Snakeyaml library in Spring Tools and related VSCode extensions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"bosh_editor","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"cloudfoundry_manifest_yml_support","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"concourse_ci_pipeline_editor","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"spring_boot_tools","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"spring_tools","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse version 4.16.0 and below as well as VSCode extensions such as Spring Boot Tools, Concourse CI Pipeline Editor, Bosh Editor and Cloudfoundry Manifest YML Support version 1.39.0 and below all use Snakeyaml library for YAML editing support.
