spring-data-jpa is vulnerable to SQL Injection
48
Medium Risk
This Affects:
spring-data-jpaTL;DR
spring-data-jpa Sort validation can be bypassed when crafted sort parameters are accepted from untrusted input and passed into native SQL repository methods. Affected methods are those annotated with @NativeQuery or @Query(nativeQuery=true) that also take a Sort or Pageable argument. On databases that accept non-ASCII characters in SQL syntax, an attacker can use deterministic sorting to infer data characteristics. The patch rejects crafted sort expressions before they reach native SQL.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and your application accepts Sort parameters from untrusted input for native SQL repository methods.
Background info
