EPSS Score97.0%

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) estimates a 97.0% chance this CVE is exploited in the wild within the next 30 days — higher than 100% of all CVEs. It complements CVSS: a high EPSS on a mid-severity CVE can still be urgent.

Spring Data Commons contains a property binder vulnerability which can allow an attacker to perform remote code execution.

Description

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.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

1.0.1 ≤ v ≤ 2.5.01.0.01.0.0 rc3
v ≤ 1.12.101.13.0 ≤ v ≤ 1.13.102.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 2.0.5
3.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 3.0.5
v ≤ 2.5.102.6.0 ≤ v ≤ 2.6.10
v < 1.13
Affected range stops below 1.13, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
