DescriptionCVE.org

Spring Data REST does not guard identifier (@Id) and version (@Version) properties against mutation via RFC 6902 JSON Patch (application/json-patch+json) requests. Spring Data REST 5.1.0 Spring Data REST 5.0.0 - 5.0.6 Spring Data REST 4.5.0 - 4.5.12 Spring Data REST 4.0.0 - 4.4.15 Spring Data REST 3.7.20 and earlier

AnalysisAI

Spring Data REST fails to protect entity identifier (@Id) and optimistic-locking version (@Version) fields from mutation through RFC 6902 JSON Patch (application/json-patch+json) PATCH requests, allowing authenticated low-privilege network attackers to overwrite primary keys and version counters on exposed JPA entities. Affected versions span the full 3.x lineage through 5.1.0, representing a broad swath of the Spring ecosystem. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires all of the following: the target application uses Spring Data REST (not a custom Spring MVC controller) and exposes HTTP PATCH endpoints; those endpoints accept the application/json-patch+json Content-Type (RFC 6902 mode, not RFC 7396 JSON Merge Patch); the attacker holds a valid authenticated session with at least low-privilege access (PR:L per vendor CVSS); and the targeted entities have @Id or @Version annotated fields, which is standard for all JPA entities. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor-supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N, score 7.1) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only low-privilege authentication with no user interaction, yielding high integrity impact and low confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Consult the Spring security advisory at https://spring.io/security/cve-2026-47849 for confirmed patched releases; based on the stated affected ranges, fixed versions are expected at 5.0.7+, 4.5.13+, 4.4.16+, and a post-5.1.0 release, but these numbers are inferred from the affected-version boundaries and not independently verified from the advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, conduct an inventory of all applications running Spring Data REST versions 3.x through 5.1.0, identify which REST endpoints expose JPA entities to low-privilege users, and document the sensitivity and scope of exposed data. …
