Denial of Service in Spring Data Commons MappingContext Property Path Resolution
CVE-2026-41695 is a high-severity denial-of-service vulnerability in Spring Data Commons. The issue occurs during MappingContext property path resolution when attacker-controlled property path strings are processed. Under vulnerable conditions, resolving these paths can trigger excessive resource consumption, leading to resource exhaustion. Spring indicates exploitability depends on whether a consuming Spring Data module or application code exposes property path resolution to untrusted callers; Spring Data Commons itself does not directly expose the affected API to untrusted input. The risk is higher where targeted domain models contain recursive property graphs, sufficiently deep nesting, or where attackers can submit many unique invalid property paths. Affected versions are Spring Data Commons 4.0.0 through 4.0.5, 3.5.0 through 3.5.11, and 3.4.0 through 3.4.14.
