In short

Spring Data Commons allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server by sending specially crafted requests. An attacker can exploit a flaw in how the application processes user input to run malicious commands without needing to log in.

Technical detail

CWE-94 (improper neutralization of special elements) in Spring Data Commons property binder allows unauthenticated remote code execution via maliciously crafted request parameters targeting Spring Data REST endpoints or projection-based payload binding. Exploitation requires network access to affected HTTP resources; impact is complete system compromise through arbitrary code execution.

The full analysis of this CVE is available in Portuguese →

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.
