Spring Data Commons: Heap exhaustion from unbounded property-lookup cache retaining crafted string keys

  • Disclosed: 10.06.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 13:20

Spring Data's internal property-lookup cache accepts and permanently retains attacker-supplied strings as cache keys, allowing heap exhaustion through repeated requests.

Affected versions: Spring Data Commons 2.7.0 through 2.7.19; 3.3.0 through 3.3.16; 3.4.0 through 3.4.14; 3.5.0 through 3.5.11; 4.0.0 through 4.0.5.
