CVEID:   CVE-2014-3578
DESCRIPTION:   Pivotal Spring Framework could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. An attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to view arbitrary files on the system.
CVSS Base score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/93774 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2017-12626
DESCRIPTION:   Apache POI is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error while parsing malicious WMF, EMF, MSG and macros and specially crafted DOC, PPT and XLS.
