STERIS posts Spring4Shell advisory for CVE-2022-22965

MedDevice Cyber Staff · Apr 27 · 2 min read · Via STERIS product security bulletins and advisories

STERIS published an advisory on April 27, 2022 titled Spring4Shell, Critical Vulnerability in Spring Framework (CVE-2022-22965). It revised the advisory on May 17, 2022.

Spring is a widely used framework for Java applications, the same kind of deep dependency that made Log4Shell slow to inventory. STERIS had published its Log4Shell advisory four months earlier, in December 2021.

The bulletins page lists the title and dates only, with no affected STERIS products. Ask STERIS for the product list and what changed in the May revision.

Am I affected?

This class applies to devices with the signals and properties below. Check them against your product to gauge exposure.

Off-the-shelf software

Fix the class in your product

The advisory is not for a bug you wrote; it is in a component you embed. As the maker, pin dependencies to fixed versions, generate an SBOM on every build including transitive components, and gate the pipeline on known-vulnerable components so an advisory maps to your products automatically.

Pin and inventory. Exact versions, and a CycloneDX or SPDX SBOM as a build artifact including transitive deps.
Gate on advisories. A CI scan fails a release carrying a component with a known advisory.
Own the field patch path. Know how you deliver a dependency or platform patch to fielded devices before you need it.
