CVE-2026-22738
CriticalSummary
In Spring AI, a SpEL injection vulnerability exists in SimpleVectorStore when a user-supplied value is used as a filter expression key. A malicious actor could exploit this to execute arbitrary code.
Risk Assessment
Organizations using SimpleVectorStore and passing user-supplied input as a filter expression key are at risk of arbitrary code execution.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to Spring AI version 1.0.5 or 1.1.4 and later to mitigate this vulnerability.

Hazelcast prior to 5.4.5, 5.5.10, and 5.6.1 contains improper validation of data supplied by a malicious client able to connect to a cluster, allowing arbitrary reads from a cluster member's Java heap, off-heap data, and JVM process address space. The same flaw can crash cluster members and, in some Hazelcast Enterprise Edition configurations, corrupt memory with possible arbitrary code execution. This issue is fixed in versions 5.4.5, 5.5.10, 5.6.1, and 5.7.0.
- CVE-2026-107722Critical
fast-jwt from 6.2.0 until 6.3.0 can misclassify RSA public-key text as an HMAC secret when the key has non-whitespace content before its PEM header. In src/crypto.js, performDetectPublicKeyAlgorithms trims whitespace but publicKeyPemMatcher remains start-anchored, so comments, control characters, zero-width characters, or wrapper text can prevent PEM detection and reach the HMAC fallback. An attacker who knows the public key bytes can sign arbitrary HS256 claims with that public material when HS256 is inferred or allowed, resulting in authentication or authorization bypass. An asymmetric-only algorithm allowlist prevents the attack. This issue is fixed in version 6.3.0.
Original NVD description (English source)
In Spring AI, a SpEL injection vulnerability exists in SimpleVectorStore when a user-supplied value is used as a filter expression key. A malicious actor could exploit this to execute arbitrary code. Only applications that use SimpleVectorStore and pass user-supplied input as a filter expression key are affected. This issue affects Spring AI: from 1.0.0 before 1.0.5, from 1.1.0 before 1.1.4.
