Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Spring AI's chat memory component contained a problematic default that, when not explicitly overridden, could result in unintended data exposure between users.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Spring AI's chat memory component uses a problematic default configuration that fails to enforce proper user session isolation. When developers do not explicitly override this default, chat memory data can be inadvertently shared between different users, allowing one user to potentially access another user's conversation history.

MitigationReview all Spring AI chat memory implementations and explicitly configure user-specific memory isolation settings. Ensure that each user session has its own dedicated memory context that cannot be accessed by other users.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Spring AI version
    Check the Spring AI library version in your project dependencies (pom.xml, build.gradle, or JAR manifest). Compare against the affected ranges: 1.0.0 to 1.0.6, or 1.1.0 to 1.1.5.
    Affected if Your Spring AI version falls within 1.0.0-1.0.6 or 1.1.0-1.1.5
  2. Confirm chat memory feature is in use
    Review your codebase for usage of Spring AI chat memory components (such as ChatMemoryAdvisor, ChatMemory, or similar chat memory APIs).
    Affected if Your application uses Spring AI's chat memory functionality
  3. Inspect chat memory configuration
    Examine your Spring AI configuration files and code for chat memory setup. Look for how the memory store is configured (in-memory, database, vector store) and whether user/session identifiers are explicitly passed to memory operations.
    Affected if Chat memory is configured without explicit user-specific session isolation parameters, relying on default behavior
  4. Verify session context handling
    Review how chat memory operations are invoked: check if user ID or session ID parameters are consistently passed to store/retrieve operations, or if these parameters are omitted allowing the default shared context to be used.
    Affected if Code passes null, empty, or no user/session identifier to chat memory operations, using the default shared configuration

You are affected if your Spring AI version is 1.0.0-1.0.6 or 1.1.0-1.1.5, your application uses chat memory, and the memory context lacks explicit per-user isolation configuration.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 1.0.7 / 1.1.6 or later
Fixed in 1.0.71.1.6
Interim mitigation

Review all Spring AI chat memory implementations and explicitly configure user-specific memory isolation settings. Ensure that each user session has its own dedicated memory context that cannot be accessed by other users.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Spring AI 1.0.7 or 1.1.6 (depending on your major version branch)

  1. 1. Identify your current Spring AI version by checking your project dependencies (e.g., pom.xml for Maven or build.gradle for Gradle)
  2. 2. For Spring AI 1.0.x users: upgrade to version 1.0.7 or later by updating the version in your dependency management
  3. 3. For Spring AI 1.1.x users: upgrade to version 1.1.6 or later by updating the version in your dependency management
  4. 4. After upgrading, review your chat memory configuration to ensure proper permissions are explicitly set according to your security requirements
  5. 5. Test the application to verify chat memory operates correctly with the updated version
Caveat Review the Spring AI release notes for 1.0.7 and 1.1.6 to check for any breaking changes relevant to your implementation
