🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)

📋 Description

When an authenticated user is denied access to a gRPC method, their authenticated identity remains bound to the gRPC worker thread and can be inherited by a subsequent unauthenticated request on the same thread. This may allow the subsequent user to gain escalated permissions.

Affected versions: Spring gRPC: 1.0.0 - 1.0.2 (fixed in 1.0.3). Older, unsupported versions are also affected.

🎯 Affected products1

  • maven/org.springframework.grpc:spring-grpc:< 1.0.3
