Upgrade org.springframework.data:spring-data-mongodb to version 3.3.5, 3.4.1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to SpEL Expression injection when using @Query or @Aggregation-annotated query methods with SpEL expressions. Exploiting this vulnerability is possible if the query parameter placeholders contain unsanitized value binding.
Notes:
Applications are not affected if one of the followings is true:
The annotated repository query or aggregation method does not contain expressions
The annotated repository query or aggregation method does not use the parameter placeholder syntax within the expression
The user-supplied input is sanitized by the application
The repository is configured to use a
QueryMethodEvaluationContextProviderthat limitsSpELusage
Workaround:
If upgrading to the fixed version is not possible, the following mitigation steps should be taken:
Rewrite query or aggregation declarations to use parameter references (“[0]” instead of “?0“) within the expression.
Sanitize parameters before calling the query method.
Reconfigure the repository factory bean through a
BeanPostProcessorwith a limitedQueryMethodEvaluationContextProvider.
