I just posted an entry on the Spring Framework forums http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?111901-Security-Vulnerabilities-with-JPetStore-and-visualization-of-the-AutoBinding-Issues which hopefully will get some tracking from their side.
I will reach out to my contacts over there (Spring Source), but if you know somebody at SpringSource (or at a heavy user of Spring MVC) please put them in touch.
Thanks
