CVSS 3.1
8.1 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:NCVE-2026-41729
High (8.1) in vmware spring data rest. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-core 4.5.12, 5.0.6.
Spring Data REST is vulnerable to SpEL expression injection through map-typed properties when processing JSON Patch (application/json-patch+json) requests. When a persistent entity exposes a Map-typed property, the JSON Pointer path segment used as the map key is embedded directly into a SpEL expression without sanitization or validation.
Affected versions:
Spring Data REST 3.7.0 through 3.7.19; 4.3.0 through 4.3.16; 4.4.0 through 4.4.14; 4.5.0 through 4.5.11; 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.
