How to fix?

Upgrade org.springframework.data:spring-data-commons to version 3.5.12, 4.0.6 or higher.

Overview

org.springframework.data:spring-data-commons is a maven plugin to centralize common resources and configuration for Spring Data Maven builds.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via the property-lookup cache. An attacker can cause unbounded memory consumption by sending repeated requests with unique, attacker-controlled property names, leading to heap exhaustion.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the application uses features that forward HTTP-supplied strings to PropertyPath.from without prior filtering, in particular Querydsl web bindings (via QuerydslPredicateArgumentResolver) with the default permit-all visibility, and @ProjectedPayload form-parameter binding (via MapDataBinder).
