Spring AI 1.0.x < 1.0.6 / 1.1.x < 1.1.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 311264

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 1.0.6 or 1.1.x prior to 1.1.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

 - A SQL injection vulnerability in CosmosDBVectorStore allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries via crafted document IDs. (CVE-2026-40978)

 - Various FilterExpressionConverter implementations do not properly escape keys and values, allowing an attacker to alter vector store queries. (CVE-2026-40967)

 - A malicious PDF file can trigger the allocation of unreasonable amounts of memory when handled by ForkPDFLayoutTextStripper, leading to denial of service. (CVE-2026-40980)

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 1.0.6 or 1.1.5 or later.
