CVE-2026-47834: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in Spring Spring Data JPA
Description
CVE-2026-47834 is a medium severity vulnerability in Spring Data JPA involving improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, specifically an SQL injection risk. The issue arises because the Sort validation can be bypassed when parameters containing crafted payloads are accepted from untrusted sources. This affects multiple versions of Spring Data JPA including 3.0.0 through 3.4.15, 3.5.0 through 3.5.13, 4.0.0 through 4.0.6, and exactly 4.1.0. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 4.8 and does not currently have an official patch or remediation level indicated. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Technical Analysis
Spring Data JPA versions 3.0.0 to 3.4.15, 3.5.0 to 3.5.13, 4.0.0 to 4.0.6, and 4.1.0 contain an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) due to bypassable Sort validation. This allows crafted parameters from untrusted sources to potentially influence SQL commands improperly. The CVSS 3.1 score is 4.8 (medium severity) with network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, low confidentiality impact, no integrity impact, and low availability impact. There is no vendor advisory or patch information available at this time, and no known exploits have been observed.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass Sort validation and inject crafted SQL payloads, potentially leading to unauthorized disclosure of information (low confidentiality impact) and limited availability impact. Integrity is not impacted. The attack complexity is high and no privileges or user interaction are required. The overall impact is medium severity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, avoid accepting untrusted input for Sort parameters or implement additional input validation and sanitization controls to mitigate the risk of SQL injection.
