Autobinding vulns and Spring MVC

Spring MVC repopulates an object taken from the model, session or a flash attribute with matching HTTP parameters, so a controller expecting trusted data can be rewritten by extra request parameters. That yields expression language injection, overwriting a security answer to reset another user's password, and session variable overloading.
