Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Spring Data Relational versions 4.0.0 to before 4.0.6, 3.5.0 to before 3.5.12, and earlier affected releases do not properly escape externally supplied values used with StringMatcher (STARTING, ENDING, or CONTAINING) in Query By Example. An attacker who can supply search input can use wildcard characters to infer stored data through true/false query responses. Upgrade to Spring Data Relational 4.0.6 or 3.5.12, or a later release in the affected branch.
