HTTP: SpringSource Spring Framework XML External Entity Parsing Information Disclosure
This signature detects attempts to exploit a know vulnerability against SpringSource Spring Framework. The vulnerability is due to incorrectly configured XML parsing which accepts XML external entities from untrusted sources. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can leverage this vulnerability by sending a malicious request to the target server. Successful exploitation would result in the disclosure of information from arbitrary files available to the security context of the server application.
