hunt-springboot
Hunt Spring Boot specific vulnerabilities — Actuator endpoints (heapdump, env, loggers, mappings, shutdown), Spring Expression Language (SpEL) injection → RCE, H2 console RCE, Jolokia JMX exposure, Spring4Shell (CVE-2022-22965), Spring Cloud Function SPEL (CVE-2022-22963), heap dump credential extraction. Use when target runs Spring Boot — detected via X-Application-Context header, /actuator, Whitelabel Error Page, or Java stack traces.

# HUNT-SPRINGBOOT — Spring Boot Specific Vulnerabilities
## Crown Jewel Targets
Spring Boot Actuator `/actuator/heapdump` exposed = heap dump with all secrets in memory.
**Highest-value findings:**
- **`/actuator/heapdump`** — full JVM heap dump contains plaintext passwords, tokens, DB credentials, private keys stored anywhere in memory
- **`/actuator/env`** — lists all environment variables and Spring properties including secrets
- **`/actuator/shutdown`** — POST → shuts down the application (Critical availability impact)
- **H2 Console (`/h2-console`)** — in-memory DB admin UI → SQL query execution → potential RCE via `CREATE ALIAS` trick
- **SpEL injection** — Spring Expression Language in template fields, `@Value` annotations, SpEL-processed request params → RCE
- **Spring4Shell CVE-2022-22965** — Spring Framework < 5.3.18 + Tomcat → RCE via data binding
