GHSA-fv7x-v67w-cvqv is a low-severity (CVSS 3.7) vulnerability in org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-core. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-fv7x-v67w-cvqv is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

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
Applications that allow HTTP PATCH access to resources exposed by Spring Data REST in versions 3.6.0 - 3.6.6, 3.7.0 - 3.7.2, and older unsupported versions, if an attacker knows about the structure of the underlying domain model, they can craft HTTP requests that expose hidden entity attributes.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☕Maven | org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-core | ≥ 3.6.0&&< 3.6.7 | 3.6.7 |

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 3.6.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-fv7x-v67w-cvqv 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-fv7x-v67w-cvqv 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-fv7x-v67w-cvqv. 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-fv7x-v67w-cvqv in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-fv7x-v67w-cvqv across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
