CVE-2026-40967
Last modified
CVE-2026-40967 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.6/10 on the CVSS scale. In Spring AI, various FilterExpressionConverter implementations accept a filter expression object and translate them to specific vector store query languages. In several cases, keys and values are not properly escaped, leading to the ability to alter the query. Affected versions: Spring AI: 1.0.0 - 1.0.5 (fixed in 1.0.6), 1.1.0 - 1.1.4 (fixed in 1.1.5). EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
