CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2026-41696 — Vmware Spring Data Mongodb security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.9

Spring Data MongoDB repository query methods annotated with @Query that use regex parameter binding perform insufficient validation of the bound parameter. An attacker can supply a crafted string to break out of the intended regular expression quoting. Affected versions: Spring Data MongoDB 5.0.0 through 5.0.5; 4.5.0 through 4.5.11; 4.4.0 through 4.4.14; 4.3.0 through 4.3.16; 4.2.0 through 4.2.15; 4.1.0 through 4.1.14; 4.0.0 through 4.0.15; 3.4.0 through 3.4.19.

SQL and data-query injection

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace request, message, file, and stored values into SQL, ORM query fragments, filters, sort expressions, and other data-query languages.
  • Inventory database roles, reachable schemas, multi-tenant boundaries, and whether stacked or administrative operations are enabled.
  • Check both direct queries and second-order use of previously stored values.

Remediate safely

  • Use parameterized queries or safe query builders for all values; map identifiers and operators through explicit allowlists.
  • Remove raw query concatenation and give the application account only the tables and operations it requires.
  • Update affected data-access components and add regression tests for query structure preservation with inert edge-case inputs.
