Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Spring Data Commons versions 4.0.0 to before 4.0.6, 3.5.0 to before 3.5.12, and 3.4.0 through 3.4.13 are affected. The property-path cache in MappingContext keeps every distinct path string forever, including invalid ones, so a remote attacker who can send many unique sort or projection values through an application can exhaust heap memory and crash the service. Upgrade to 4.0.6 or 3.5.12. The source does not list a workaround.
