Service interruption via unbounded property-path caching
Published Jun 9, 2026 · Updated Jun 9, 2026
Uncontrolled resource consumption in affected Spring Data Commons releases allows remote attackers to exhaust application memory. PersistentPropertyPathFactory stores every distinct TypeAndPath key, including failed resolutions, in a non-evicting ConcurrentHashMap when MappingContext resolves untrusted path strings. Exploitation requires a consuming module or application to expose that API and either deeply nested domain graphs or many unique invalid paths; successful requests grow the JVM heap until the service stops.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=3.4.0 <3.4.15
- Affected versionversion=3.5.0 <3.5.12
- Affected versionversion=4.0.0 <4.0.6
