The vulnerability stems from MvcViewFactoryCreator's default configuration where useSpringBinding=false. The createViewFactory method is directly responsible for view factory creation and data binding configuration. The Pivotal advisory explicitly links this class/property to the vulnerability and notes the incomplete CVE-2017-4971 fix was completed in these methods. During exploitation, this function would appear in profilers as it handles view state processing with insecure data binding.
