DescriptionCVE.org

Spring AI's MilvusVectorStore#doDelete(List) implementation is vulnerable to filter-expression injection via unsanitized document IDs. Spring AI 1.0.x: affected from 1.0.0 through latest 1.0.x; upgrade to 1.0.7 or greater. Spring AI 1.1.x: affected from 1.1.0 through latest 1.1.x; upgrade to 1.1.6 or greater.

AnalysisAI

Filter-expression injection in Spring AI's MilvusVectorStore allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate vector database queries by injecting malicious filter expressions through unsanitized document IDs. Affects Spring AI 1.0.0-1.0.6 and 1.1.0-1.1.5. VMware has released patches in versions 1.0.7 and 1.1.6. CVSS 8.6 (High) with network attack vector and no privileges required. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV) and no public POC identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

Spring AI is VMware's application framework for building AI-powered applications in Java, providing abstractions for vector databases and large language models. The vulnerability exists in the MilvusVectorStore component, which interfaces with Milvus vector databases for similarity search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows. The doDelete(List) method fails to sanitize document IDs before incorporating them into filter expressions sent to the Milvus database. This is a CWE-917 (Expression Language Injection) vulnerability where attacker-controlled data is interpreted as executable filter logic rather than literal identifiers. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:spring:spring_ai) indicates this is specific to Spring AI's vector store implementations, not the broader Spring Framework ecosystem.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Spring AI 1.0.7 or later for the 1.0.x branch, or upgrade to Spring AI 1.1.6 or later for the 1.1.x branch, as specified in VMware's security advisory at https://spring.io/security/cve-2026-41705. The patched versions implement proper input sanitization in the MilvusVectorStore doDelete method to prevent filter-expression injection. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement strict input validation on document IDs before passing them to vector store delete operations-specifically, whitelist alphanumeric characters and reject any IDs containing Milvus filter expression metacharacters (parentheses, logical operators, comparison operators). This workaround may break legitimate use cases requiring special characters in document identifiers and should be tested thoroughly. Additionally, apply principle of least privilege to Milvus database credentials used by Spring AI to limit blast radius of successful injection attacks-restrict delete permissions where possible and isolate vector store collections by trust boundary.
