Additional information exposure with Spring Data JPA derived queries

LOW | APRIL 08, 2019 | CVE-2019-3797

Description

This affects Spring Data JPA in versions up to and including 2.1.5, 2.0.13 and 1.11.19. Derived queries using any of the predicates ‘startingWith’, ‘endingWith’ or ‘containing’ could return more results than anticipated when a maliciously crafted query parameter value is supplied. Also, LIKE expressions in manually defined queries could return unexpected results if the parameter values bound did not have escaped reserved characters properly.

Affected Spring Products and Versions

Spring Data JPA:

  • 2.1.0 - 2.1.5
  • 2.0.0 - 2.0.13
  • 1.11.19 and earlier

Mitigation
