Spring Data REST allows mutation of the version property of immutable aggregates via PUT

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. Spring Data REST 5.1.0 Spring Data REST 5.0.0 - 5.0.6 Spring Data REST 4.5.0 - 4.5.12 Spring Data REST 4.0.0 - 4.4.15 Spring Data REST 3.7.20 and earlier

Spring Data REST allows mutation of identifier and version properties via JSON Patch

Spring Data REST does not guard identifier (@Id) and version (@Version) properties against mutation via RFC 6902 JSON Patch (application/json-patch+json) requests. Spring Data REST 5.1.0 Spring Data REST 5.0.0 - 5.0.6 Spring Data REST 4.5.0 - 4.5.12 Spring Data REST 4.0.0 - 4.4.15 Spring Data REST 3.7.20 and earlier

spring-data-commons: XXE with Spring Data’s XMLBeam integration

Spring Data Commons, versions 1.13 prior to 1.13.12 and 2.0 prior to 2.0.7, used in combination with XMLBeam 1.4.14 or earlier versions, contains a property binder vulnerability caused by improper restriction of XML external entity references as underlying library XMLBeam does not restrict external reference expansion. An unauthenticated remote malicious user can supply specially crafted request parameters against Spring Data's projection-based request payload binding to access arbitrary files on the system.

spring-data-commons: Improper neutralization of special elements allow remote attackers to execute code via crafted requests

Spring Data Commons, versions prior to 1.13 to 1.13.10, 2.0 to 2.0.5, and older unsupported versions, contain a property binder vulnerability caused by improper neutralization of special elements. An unauthenticated remote malicious user (or attacker) can supply specially crafted request parameters against Spring Data REST backed HTTP resources or using Spring Data's projection-based request payload binding hat can lead to a remote code execution attack.

spring-data-commons: Unlimited path depth in PropertyPath.java allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service

Spring Data Commons, versions 1.13 to 1.13.10, 2.0 to 2.0.5, and older unsupported versions, contain a property path parser vulnerability caused by unlimited resource allocation. An unauthenticated remote malicious user (or attacker) can issue requests against Spring Data REST endpoints or endpoints using property path parsing which can cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption).

Spring Data REST SpEL Injection via Map Key in JSON Patch

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.

Spring Data REST JSON Patch bypasses Jackson read-only property protection on nested objects and collections

Spring Data REST's JSON Patch (application/json-patch+json) implementation does not apply the write-access filter to intermediate path segments when resolving a multi-segment JSON Pointer. 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.

Spring Data REST exposes persistence-layer internals in error responses

Spring Data REST serializes the full exception cause chain into HTTP error response bodies, potentially exposing persistence-layer internals to HTTP clients. 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.

Spring Data REST Querydsl integration exposes Jackson-hidden persistent fields as filter keys

Spring Data REST's Querydsl integration accepts arbitrary persistent property paths as request-parameter filter keys and does not consider Jackson customizations before handing them to Querydsl. 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.

Applications that allow HTTP PATCH access to resources exposed by Spring Data REST in versions 3.6.0 - 3.5.5, 3.7.0 - 3.7.2, and older unsupported versions, if an attacker knows about the structure of the underlying domain model, they can craft HTTP requests that expose hidden entity attributes.

In Spring Data REST versions 3.4.0 - 3.4.13, 3.5.0 - 3.5.5, and older unsupported versions, HTTP resources implemented by custom controllers using a configured base API path and a controller type-level request mapping are additionally exposed under URIs that can potentially be exposed for unauthorized access depending on the Spring Security configuration.

spring-boot: Malicious PATCH requests submitted to servers can use specially crafted JSON data to run arbitrary Java code

Malicious PATCH requests submitted to servers using Spring Data REST versions prior to 2.6.9 (Ingalls SR9), versions prior to 3.0.1 (Kay SR1) and Spring Boot versions prior to 1.5.9, 2.0 M6 can use specially crafted JSON data to run arbitrary Java code.
