Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-41695 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in Spring Data Commons that occurs when attacker-controlled property path strings are passed to the MappingContext property path resolution.

This vulnerability can be exploited if the targeted domain types contain recursive or deeply nested property graphs, or if attackers submit numerous invalid paths, which leads to resource exhaustion in the application.

It mainly affects applications exposing this functionality to untrusted users, such as those using Spring Data REST.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can cause a denial of service by exhausting system resources when processing maliciously crafted property path strings.

This means that an attacker can make the affected application unavailable or unresponsive, potentially disrupting business operations.

Mitigation Strategies

The recommended mitigation is to upgrade Spring Data Commons to the fixed versions: 4.0.6, 3.5.12, or 3.4.15, depending on the branch you are using.

No additional mitigation steps are required beyond upgrading.

Compliance Impact

The provided information does not specify any direct impact of this vulnerability on compliance with common standards and regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA.
