TL;DR

Spring Data's internal property-lookup cache accepts and permanently retains attacker-supplied strings as cache keys, allowing heap exhaustion through repeated requests. Affected applications are those using Spring Data features that forward HTTP-supplied strings to PropertyPath.from without prior filtering, in particular Querydsl web bindings (via QuerydslPredicateArgumentResolver) with the default permit-all visibility, and @ProjectedPayload form-parameter binding (via MapDataBinder).

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
