CVE-2024-22259
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedApplications that use UriComponentsBuilder in Spring Framework to parse an externally provided URL (e.g. through a query parameter) AND perform validation checks on the host of the parsed URL may be vulnerable to a open redirect https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/601.html attack or to a SSRF attack if the URL is used after passing validation checks. This is the same as CVE-2024-22243 https://spring.io/security/cve-2024-22243 , but with different input.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceApplications using UriComponentsBuilder in Spring Framework to parse externally-provided URLs (e.g., from query parameters) and perform host validation checks are vulnerable to open redirect or SSRF attacks due to a validation bypass. The parser can be tricked into passing validation checks but then resolving to a different host when the URL is used, similar to CVE-2024-22243 but with different input vectors.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Spring Framework versionCheck your project dependencies (pom.xml, build.gradle, or manifest files) for the spring-core or spring-web version. Run 'mvn dependency:tree | grep spring' or 'gradle dependencies | grep spring'Affected if The installed version is < 5.3.33, or >= 6.0.0 and < 6.0.18, or >= 6.1.0 and < 6.1.5
-
Locate UriComponentsBuilder usage with external inputSearch codebase for 'UriComponentsBuilder' and trace whether the input comes from external sources such as query parameters, request parameters, headers, or user-controlled data. Search: grep -r 'UriComponentsBuilder' --include='*.java'Affected if UriComponentsBuilder parses URLs derived from external/unsanitized input
-
Verify host validation logic exists after parsingReview code paths that use UriComponentsBuilder to parse external URLs. Look for host validation logic (e.g., host comparison, allowlist checks) applied to the parsed UriComponents before useAffected if Host validation is performed on the parsed UriComponents but does not verify the final resolved host
-
Check for SSRF/open redirect patternsAudit any network calls or redirects made using URLs parsed by UriComponentsBuilder from external input. Look for patterns where the host is checked but the URL is later used as-isAffected if URLs from UriComponentsBuilder are used in HTTP calls or redirects without re-validating the final host
-
Identify NetApp Active IQ Unified Manager installationCheck if NetApp Active IQ Unified Manager is installed. Look for installation directories, running services, or product documentationAffected if NetApp Active IQ Unified Manager is running (all versions are affected)
You are affected if your Spring Framework version is within the vulnerable ranges AND UriComponentsBuilder is used to parse externally-provided URLs with host validation that can be bypassed.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor data5.3.336.0.186.1.5
Upgrade Spring Framework to the latest patched version and review all code paths using UriComponentsBuilder with external input to ensure host validation cannot be bypassed. Consider using stricter validation that checks the final resolved host rather than the parsed host.
