DescriptionNVD

Spring for GraphQL's Spring Data pagination support resolves arguments of a scrollable query and forwards the client-supplied values to the underlying repository. An attacker can forge a malicious query for a Connection field that can exhaust application memory or place significant, prolonged load on the underlying datastore, resulting in a Denial of Service. Spring for GraphQL 2.0.0 - 2.0.4 Spring for GraphQL 1.4.0 - 1.4.6 Spring for GraphQL 1.2.0 - 1.3.9

AnalysisAI

Spring for GraphQL's Spring Data pagination integration blindly forwards client-supplied Connection field arguments to the underlying repository without enforcing resource limits, enabling an unauthenticated remote attacker to exhaust JVM heap memory or impose sustained load on the backing datastore via crafted GraphQL pagination queries. Three release branches are affected: 2.0.0-2.0.4, 1.4.0-1.4.6, and 1.2.0-1.3.9, as confirmed by EUVD-2026-67178 and the VMware/Spring security advisory. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The application must use Spring for GraphQL's Spring Data pagination integration and expose at least one Connection-type GraphQL field backed by a scrollable Spring Data repository query - this is not a separately toggled feature flag but an inherent behavior of the pagination support in affected versions (2.0.0-2.0.4, 1.4.0-1.4.6, 1.2.0-1.3.9). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 (High) reflects a worst-case network-accessible (AV:N), low-complexity (AC:L), unauthenticated (PR:N, UI:N) attack with high availability impact (A:H) and no confidentiality or integrity consequences. … 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 Upgrade Spring for GraphQL to a version beyond the affected ranges per the vendor advisory at https://spring.io/security/cve-2026-59289; exact patched version numbers (e.g., 2.0.5+, 1.4.7+) must be confirmed from that advisory as no specific fix versions were included in the available intelligence. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all Spring for GraphQL instances and confirm versions 1.2.0-1.3.9, 1.4.0-1.4.6, and 2.0.0-2.0.4 in production environments. …
