Vmware: >> Spring Data Rest >> 3.7.0 Security Vulnerabilities
Spring Data REST's JSON Patch (application/json-patch+json) implementation does not apply the write-access filter to intermediate path segments when resolving a multi-segment JSON Pointer.
Affected versions:
Spring Data REST 3.7.0 through 3.7.19; 4.3.0 through 4.3.16; 4.4.0 through 4.4.14; 4.5.0 through 4.5.11; 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.

Spring Data REST is vulnerable to SpEL expression injection through map-typed properties when processing JSON Patch (application/json-patch+json) requests. When a persistent entity exposes a Map-typed property, the JSON Pointer path segment used as the map key is embedded directly into a SpEL expression without sanitization or validation.
Affected versions:
Spring Data REST 3.7.0 through 3.7.19; 4.3.0 through 4.3.16; 4.4.0 through 4.4.14; 4.5.0 through 4.5.11; 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.

Spring Data REST serializes the full exception cause chain into HTTP error response bodies, potentially exposing persistence-layer internals to HTTP clients.
Affected versions:
Spring Data REST 3.7.0 through 3.7.19; 4.3.0 through 4.3.16; 4.4.0 through 4.4.14; 4.5.0 through 4.5.11; 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.

Spring Data REST's Querydsl integration accepts arbitrary persistent property paths as request-parameter filter keys and does not consider Jackson customizations before handing them to Querydsl.
Affected versions:
Spring Data REST 3.7.0 through 3.7.19; 4.3.0 through 4.3.16; 4.4.0 through 4.4.14; 4.5.0 through 4.5.11; 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.

Applications that allow HTTP PATCH access to resources exposed by Spring Data REST in versions 3.6.0 - 3.5.5, 3.7.0 - 3.7.2, and older unsupported versions, if an attacker knows about the structure of the underlying domain model, they can craft HTTP requests that expose hidden entity attributes.
