An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending repeated requests with specially crafted strings, which are then permanently retained in the internal property-lookup cache. This can lead to heap exhaustion, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system. Spring Data Commons: Spring Data Commons: Denial of Service due to cache exhaustion via attacker-supplied strings A flaw was found in Spring Data Commons. The TypeDiscoverer cache can be exhausted by sending many unique invalid property names, leading to denial of service through excessive memory consumption. Red Hat products that bundle spring-data-commons and expose Spring Data query resolution to untrusted input are affected. In Red Hat Dev Spaces, the vulnerable code path is reachable only through admin-authenticated endpoints, limiting practical exploitability. The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.
