Spring AI 1.0.x < 1.0.5 / 1.1.x < 1.1.4 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 304267

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Spring AI installed on the remote host is 1.0.x prior to 1.0.5 or 1.1.x prior to 1.1.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

- A SpEL injection vulnerability exists in SimpleVectorStore when a user-supplied value is used as a filter expression key. A malicious actor could exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-22738)

- A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in BedrockProxyChatModel when processing multimodal messages that include user-supplied media URLs. Insufficient validation of those URLs allows an attacker to induce the server to issue HTTP requests to unintended destinations. (CVE-2026-22742)

- A Cypher injection vulnerability exists in Neo4jVectorFilterExpressionConverter when a user-controlled string is passed as a filter expression key. (CVE-2026-22743)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Spring AI version 1.0.5 or 1.1.4 or later.
