# In Spring Cloud Function versions 3.1.6, 3.2.2 and older unsupported versions, when using routing functionality it…

Spring Cloud Function's routing feature evaluates a user-supplied SpEL routing expression, which lets a crafted expression run code on the server and reach local resources. An attacker who can send requests that set the routing expression gets remote code execution on the host.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Fix

Upgrade VMware Tanzu Spring Cloud Function to a patched version per vendor instructions; the sources do not name the fixed version.
CISA KEV lists this as actively exploited, so treat any unpatched instance as compromised until checked.

## From the sources

When using routing functionality in VMware Tanzu's Spring Cloud Function, it is possible for a user to provide a specially crafted SpEL as a routing-expression that may result in remote code execution and access to local resources.

CISA required action: Apply updates per vendor instructions.
