Low risk23th percentile - higher than 23% of all known CVEs
Summary
Spring Data REST's JSON Patch implementation does not apply write-access filter to intermediate path segments when resolving a multi-segment JSON Pointer. Affected versions: 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, and 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can bypass access controls and modify protected resources, leading to unauthorized data changes.
Recommendation
Update Spring Data REST to a patched version (e.g., 5.0.6 or later) and review access filter configuration.
Other vulnerabilities in Spring Data REST
See all- CVE-2026-47849High
Spring Data REST versions 5.1.0, 5.0.0-5.0.6, 4.5.0-4.5.12, 4.0.0-4.4.15, and 3.7.20 and earlier do not guard identifier (@Id) and version (@Version) properties against mutation via RFC 6902 JSON Patch requests.
- CVE-2026-47850Medium
Spring Data REST does not preserve the persisted version (@Version) property of an aggregate root when handling an HTTP PUT against an immutable target type. Affects Spring Data REST 5.1.0, 5.0.0-5.0.6, 4.5.0-4.5.12, 4.0.0-4.4.15, and 3.7.20 and earlier.
- CVE-2026-41837Medium
Spring Data REST's Querydsl integration accepts arbitrary property paths as filter keys and ignores Jackson customizations before handing them to Querydsl. Affects versions 3.7.0-3.7.19, 4.3.0-4.3.16, 4.4.0-4.4.14, 4.5.0-4.5.11, 5.0.0-5.0.5.
- CVE-2026-41730Medium
Vulnerability in Spring Data REST where the full exception cause chain is serialized into HTTP error response bodies, potentially exposing persistence-layer internals to HTTP clients. Affects versions 3.7.0-3.7.19, 4.3.0-4.3.16, 4.4.0-4.4.14, 4.5.0-4.5.11, 5.0.0-5.0.5.
- CVE-2026-41729High
Vulnerability in Spring Data REST involving SpEL expression injection through map-typed properties when processing JSON Patch requests. The JSON Pointer path segment used as the map key is embedded into a SpEL expression without sanitization. Affects versions 3.7.0-3.7.19, 4.3.0-4.3.16, 4.4.0-4.4.14, 4.5.0-4.5.11, 5.0.0-5.0.5.
