DescriptionCVE.org
A critical SQL injection vulnerability in Spring AI's MariaDBFilterExpressionConverter allows attackers to bypass metadata-based access controls and execute arbitrary SQL commands.
The vulnerability exists due to missing input sanitization.
AnalysisAI
A critical SQL injection vulnerability in Spring AI's MariaDBFilterExpressionConverter component allows authenticated attackers to bypass metadata-based access controls and execute arbitrary SQL commands due to missing input sanitization. VMware Spring AI versions 1.0.x prior to 1.0.4 and 1.1.x prior to 1.1.3 are affected. With a CVSS score of 8.8, this vulnerability enables attackers with low-level privileges to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the database system through network-based attacks with low complexity.
Technical ContextAI
Spring AI is VMware's framework for building AI applications in Java, and this vulnerability affects its MariaDB integration component specifically within the MariaDBFilterExpressionConverter class (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:vmware:spring_ai:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands, a classic SQL injection flaw. The MariaDBFilterExpressionConverter is responsible for converting filter expressions into SQL queries when working with vector databases and metadata filtering, but fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before incorporating it into SQL statements. This allows specially crafted filter expressions to break out of their intended context and inject arbitrary SQL code, bypassing the metadata-based access control mechanisms that rely on these filters to enforce data isolation and security policies.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade VMware Spring AI to version 1.0.4 or later for the 1.0.x branch, or to version 1.1.3 or later for the 1.1.x branch as detailed in the official VMware Spring security advisory at https://spring.io/security/cve-2026-22730. Review all application code utilizing MariaDBFilterExpressionConverter to identify potential attack surfaces where user-controlled input influences filter expressions. Until patching is completed, implement defense-in-depth measures including strict input validation at the application layer using allowlists for filter expression parameters, enforce principle of least privilege for database accounts used by Spring AI applications to limit blast radius of SQL injection attacks, deploy web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns, and monitor database query logs for suspicious activity or anomalous SQL commands that might indicate exploitation attempts.
