CVE-2026-41721: CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in Spring Spring Data Commons
Spring Data Commons contains a vulnerability that can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition if Spring Data Web Support is enabled in conjunction with a Controller method using @ProjectedPayload, when an attacker sends a specially crafted HTTP request that causes the application to allocate lots of memory. Affected versions: Spring Data Commons 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; 2.7.0 through 2.7.19.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-41721 is an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in Spring Data Commons. When Spring Data Web Support is enabled alongside a Controller method annotated with @ProjectedPayload, specially crafted HTTP requests can cause the application to allocate excessive memory, resulting in a Denial of Service condition. The affected versions include 2.7.0 through 2.7.19, 3.0.0 through 3.0.15, 3.1.0 through 3.1.14, 3.2.0 through 3.2.15, 3.3.0 through 3.3.16, 3.4.0 through 3.4.14, 3.5.0 through 3.5.11, and 4.0.0 through 4.0.5. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation leads to a Denial of Service (DoS) by exhausting system memory resources due to uncontrolled allocation triggered by crafted HTTP requests. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity reported. The attack vector is network-based with high attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction required.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, consider disabling Spring Data Web Support or avoid using @ProjectedPayload in Controller methods if possible to reduce exposure.
