→A specially crafted HTTP request may cause an authentication bypass when using Apache Shiro with Spring; monitor for anomalous or malformed HTTP requests targeting Shiro-protected endpoints ↗

·Vulnerability only affects Apache Shiro when used in conjunction with Spring; standalone Shiro deployments are not impacted by this specific bypass vector ↗
·OpenDaylight (included in Red Hat OpenStack Platform) contains the affected code but the vulnerable function is not used and therefore not exploitable ↗
·Red Hat Integration Camel K 1 (camel-shiro package) is confirmed not affected ↗
·The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability ↗
