Denial of Service in Spring Data Commons Sort Parameter Parsing

IdentifiersCVE-2026-41711CWE-674

CVE-2026-41711 is a medium-severity denial-of-service vulnerability in Spring Data Commons. Applications using affected versions may encounter a StackOverflowException when parsing crafted Sort parameters. The issue is not directly exposed by Spring Data Commons itself to untrusted callers; exploitability depends on how a consuming Spring Data module or the application exposes and forwards Sort input. According to the provided context, vulnerable scenarios include endpoints that accept Sort parameters from untrusted sources without sanitization, as well as endpoints using parameters annotated with @ProjectedPayload or @QuerydslPredicate. Affected versions are 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, and 2.7.0 through 2.7.19; older unsupported versions are also affected.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition by submitting crafted Sort parameters that trigger a StackOverflowException during parsing. The stated impact is limited to availability loss; the provided context does not indicate confidentiality or integrity impact. The referenced CVSS v3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Sanitize and constrain any untrusted input intended for sorting before passing it to Spring Data Commons parsing logic. Avoid exposing Sort parameters directly from untrusted sources unless validation is enforced. Review endpoints that accept Sort input directly, especially those using @ProjectedPayload or @QuerydslPredicate, and apply strict allowlisting of sortable fields and input structure.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Spring Data Commons to a fixed release in the relevant branch. The provided fixed versions are 4.0.6 for 4.0.x and 3.5.12 for 3.5.x. Enterprise-support fixes are listed as 3.4.15 for 3.4.x, 3.3.17 for 3.3.x, and 2.7.20 for 2.7.x. The context does not provide fixed versions for every affected branch; where no fixed version is available in the provided data, move to a supported, patched release line.
