Grails® data binding causes JVM crash and/or DoS

Grails is a framework used to build web applications with the Groovy programming language. A specially crafted web request can lead to a JVM crash or denial of service. Any Grails framework application using Grails data binding is vulnerable. This issue has been patched in version 3.3.17, 4.1.3, 5.3.4, 6.1.0.

In grails-databinding in Grails before 3.3.15, 4.x before 4.1.1, 5.x before 5.1.9, and 5.2.x before 5.2.1 (at least when certain Java 8 configurations are used), data binding allows a remote attacker to execute code by gaining access to the class loader.

Grails before 3.3.10 used cleartext HTTP to resolve the SDKMan notification service. NOTE: users' apps were not resolving dependencies over cleartext HTTP.

Grails Fields plugin version 2.2.7 contains a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Using the display tag that can result in XSS . This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 2.2.8.
