Spring Data Relational: Attackers can supply wildcard characters to perform boolean-based blind data inference
Quick fix
GHSA-8r2h-xh92-gq57 — org.springframework.data:spring-data-relational: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
# pom.xml: bump <version>4.0.6</version> for org.springframework.data:spring-data-relationalDetails
Spring Data Relational does not properly escape binding values of externally-controlled input when using StringMatcher (STARTING, ENDING, or CONTAINING) in Query By Example (QBE). An attacker can supply wildcard characters to perform boolean-based blind data inference.
