CVE-2026-41697 Details
Description
Spring Data Relational does not properly escape binding values of externally-controlled input when using StringMatcher (STARTING, ENDING, or CONTAINING) in Query By Example (QBE). An attacker can supply wildcard characters to perform boolean-based blind data inference. Affected versions: Spring Data Relational/JDBC/R2DBC 4.0.0 through 4.0.5; 3.5.0 through 3.5.11; 3.4.0 through 3.4.14; 3.3.0 through 3.3.16; 3.2.0 through 3.2.15; 3.1.0 through 3.1.14; 3.0.0 through 3.0.15; 2.4.0 through 2.4.19.
A vulnerability exists in Spring Data Relational, including its JDBC and R2DBC modules, in versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.5, 3.5.0 through 3.5.11, 3.4.0 through 3.4.14, 3.3.0 through 3.3.16, 3.2.0 through 3.2.15, 3.1.0 through 3.1.14, 3.0.0 through 3.0.15, and 2.4.0 through 2.4.19. The vulnerability arises because the framework does not properly escape binding values of externally-controlled input when using StringMatcher (STARTING, ENDING, or CONTAINING) in Query By Example (QBE). This flaw allows attackers to inject wildcard characters, enabling boolean-based blind data inference. Exploitation requires the application developer to configure a QBE probe that accepts untrusted input.
Users of affected versions should upgrade to the corresponding fixed version. Spring Data Relational users should upgrade to 4.0.6, 3.5.12, 3.4.15 (Enterprise Support Only), 3.3.17 (Enterprise Support Only), or 2.4.20 (Enterprise Support Only).
