CVE-2026-41728 Details
Description
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.
A vulnerability exists in Spring Data REST versions 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, and 5.0.0 through 5.0.5. The issue arises in the JSON Patch implementation (application/json-patch+json), where the write-access filter is not applied to intermediate path segments when resolving multi-segment JSON Pointers. This oversight can lead to bypassing Jackson's read-only property protection on nested objects and collections, particularly when the outer container is marked as read-only but the inner elements have no specific restrictions.
Users should upgrade to Spring Data REST versions 3.7.20, 4.3.17, 4.4.15, 4.5.12 (OSS), or 5.0.6 (OSS).
