The remote host contains a Spring Framework version is affected by a security bypass vulnerability. Using ** as a pattern in Spring Security configuration with the mvcRequestMatcher creates a mismatch in pattern matching between Spring Security and Spring MVC, and the potential for a security bypass.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
