Description

SQL injection vulnerability in Pivotal Spring Data JPA before 1.9.6 (Gosling SR6) and 1.10.x before 1.10.4 (Hopper SR4), when used with a repository that defines a String query using the @Query annotation, allows attackers to execute arbitrary JPQL commands via a sort instance with a function call.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.springframework.data:spring-data-jpa, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update org.springframework.data:spring-data-jpa to 1.9.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2016-6652 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs.
