2. Does the NDIA have any products, services or systems using the Spring Framework (Java)?

“Depending on the application, exploitation may be possible by a remote attacker without requiring authentication.”

"The Spring Framework is "the most widely used lightweight open-source framework for Java," Microsoft notes. The bug resides in the Java Development Kit (JDK) from version 9.0 and upwards if the system is also using Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 to 5.3.17, 5.2.0 to 5.2.19, and earlier versions."
Yours faithfully,
Lesley
