Spring4Shell security vulnerability

[llinggit]

In Java Client API, we use spring-jdbc, 5.2.7

It doesn’t meet the prerequisites listed in CVE-2022-22965

These are the prerequisites for the exploit:

JDK 9 or higher
Apache Tomcat as the Servlet container
Packaged as WAR
spring-webmvc or spring-webflux dependency

However, it has dependencies on spring-core and spring-beans, which are marked as vulnerable in maven central.

The newest version of spring-jdbc 5.3.18 in maven repository has the patch. We better upgrade it to 5.3.18 anyway.
