GHSA-4926-qpxg-6r3w
MEDIUMGHSA-4926-qpxg-6r3w is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.3) Information Exposure vulnerability in org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-core. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-4926-qpxg-6r3w is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere in Spring Data REST
Real-World Exposure
org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-core☕org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-coreReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
In Spring Data REST versions 3.4.0 - 3.4.13, 3.5.0 - 3.5.5, and older unsupported versions, HTTP resources implemented by custom controllers using a configured base API path and a controller type-level request mapping are additionally exposed under URIs that can potentially be exposed for unauthorized access depending on the Spring Security configuration.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☕Maven | org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-core | ≥ 3.4.0&&< 3.4.14 | 3.4.14 |
| ☕Maven | org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-core | ≥ 3.5.0&&< 3.5.6 | 3.5.6 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-core. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-core to 3.4.14 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-4926-qpxg-6r3w is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-4926-qpxg-6r3w is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-4926-qpxg-6r3w. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-4926-qpxg-6r3w in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-4926-qpxg-6r3w across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
