DescriptionNVD

The base directory (spring.cloud.config.server.git.basedir) used by the Spring Cloud Config Server to clone Git repositories to is susceptible to time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) attacks. Spring Cloud Config 3.1.x: affected from 3.1.0 through 3.1.13 (inclusive); upgrade to 3.1.14 or greater (Enterprise Support Only). Spring Cloud Config 4.1.x: affected from 4.1.0 through 4.1.9 (inclusive); upgrade to 4.1.10 or greater (Enterprise Support Only). Spring Cloud Config 4.2.x: affected from 4.2.0 through 4.2.6 (inclusive); upgrade to 4.2.7 or greater (Enterprise Support Only). Spring Cloud Config 4.3.x: affected from 4.3.0 through 4.3.2 (inclusive); upgrade to 4.3.3 or greater. Spring Cloud Config 5.0.x: affected from 5.0.0 through 5.0.2 (inclusive); upgrade to 5.0.3 or greater.

AnalysisAI

Time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in Spring Cloud Config Server's Git repository cloning mechanism allows local privileged attackers with high-privilege system access to potentially read or modify configuration data intended for other applications. Exploitation requires timing manipulation of the basedir filesystem path between validation and use, enabling symlink attacks or directory substitution. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all Spring Cloud Config Server deployments and document current versions in use; isolate instances handling sensitive configurations if running on shared infrastructure. Within 7 days: Implement filesystem access controls restricting basedir directory permissions to prevent privilege escalation; review Git repository clone logs for suspicious timing patterns. …
