An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-22738 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.springframework.ai:spring-ai-vector-store (Maven): affected from 1.0.0; fixed in 1.0.5\n- org.springframework.ai:spring-ai-vector-store (Maven): affected from 1.0.0; fixed in 1.0.5\n- org.springframework.ai:spring-ai-vector-store (Maven): affected from 1.1.0-M1; fixed in 1.1.4\n- org.springframework.ai:spring-ai-vector-store (Maven): affected from 1.1.0-M1; fixed in 1.1.4\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-22738/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-22738/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-22738","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-22738/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-22738","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fvh3-672c-7p6c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Spring AI library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via SpEL injection in SimpleVectorStore if user input is used as a filter key.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"spring_ai","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-917","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an Expression Language Statement"},{"id":"CWE-88","name":"Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command"}],"description":"In Spring AI, a SpEL injection vulnerability exists in SimpleVectorStore when a user-supplied value is used as a filter expression key.
