Request data is evaluated as an expression (SpEL/OGNL/MVEL/JEXL/EL), which allows remote code execution.
Category: SECURITY · Engine rule severity: ERROR
How to fix it
Never evaluate user-supplied expressions. Use fixed expressions with user values passed as variables, and for SpEL a SimpleEvaluationContext instead of StandardEvaluationContext.
