CVE-2026-59289: CWE-770 Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in Spring Spring for GraphQL
Description
Spring for GraphQL's Spring Data pagination support resolves arguments of a scrollable query and forwards the client-supplied values to the underlying repository. An attacker can forge a malicious query for a Connection field that can exhaust application memory or place significant, prolonged load on the underlying datastore, resulting in a Denial of Service. Spring for GraphQL 2.0.0 - 2.0.4 Spring for GraphQL 1.4.0 - 1.4.6 Spring for GraphQL 1.2.0 - 1.3.9

Technical Analysis
Spring for GraphQL's Spring Data pagination support resolves arguments of a scrollable query and forwards client-supplied values to the underlying repository without adequate resource limits or throttling. This allows an attacker to forge malicious queries targeting Connection fields, potentially exhausting application memory or causing significant, prolonged load on the underlying datastore, resulting in denial of service conditions. The vulnerability affects Spring for GraphQL versions 1.2.0 to 1.3.9, 1.4.0 to 1.4.6, and 2.0.0 to 2.0.4. No official patch or remediation level has been provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
An attacker can cause denial of service by exhausting application memory or placing significant load on the datastore through maliciously crafted GraphQL queries. This impacts availability but does not affect confidentiality or integrity according to the CVSS vector.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, consider implementing application-level query complexity limits or throttling to mitigate potential denial of service attacks.
