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
In Spring AI Vector Stores, special characters could be used to force the execution of arbitrary queries in Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and GemFire VectorDB. Affected components: spring-ai-elasticsearch-store, spring-ai-opensearch-store, spring-ai-gemfire-store. Affected versions: Spring AI 1.0.0 through 1.0.x (fix 1.0.9). Spring AI 1.1.0 through 1.1.x (fix 1.1.8).

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

This is a query injection vulnerability in Spring AI Vector Store implementations (Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and GemFire). Attackers can use special characters within vector store queries to bypass intended query boundaries and execute arbitrary queries against the underlying database, potentially exposing or manipulating unauthorized data.

MitigationUpgrade Spring AI to version 1.0.9 or 1.1.8 or later to obtain the fix. As an interim measure, implement strict input validation and sanitization of special characters in all vector store query operations.

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 in use
    Examine your project's dependency manifest (Maven pom.xml, Gradle build.gradle, or similar) for the spring-ai-core or spring-ai dependency version. Also check any runtime classpath or container image dependency listings.
    Affected if The version is 1.0.0 through 1.0.8, or 1.1.0 through 1.1.7
  2. Determine if Elasticsearch Vector Store is in use
    Search project configuration and dependency files for spring-ai-elasticsearch-store or related Elasticsearch vector store dependencies. Review application configuration for vector store bean definitions connecting to Elasticsearch.
    Affected if Elasticsearch vector store is configured and the Spring AI version falls in the affected ranges
  3. Determine if OpenSearch Vector Store is in use
    Search project configuration and dependency files for spring-ai-opensearch-store or related OpenSearch vector store dependencies. Review application configuration for vector store bean definitions connecting to OpenSearch.
    Affected if OpenSearch vector store is configured and the Spring AI version falls in the affected ranges
  4. Determine if GemFire Vector Store is in use
    Search project configuration and dependency files for spring-ai-gemfire-store or related GemFire vector store dependencies. Review application configuration for vector store bean definitions connecting to GemFire.
    Affected if GemFire vector store is configured and the Spring AI version falls in the affected ranges
  5. Verify query operations are performed on vector stores
    Review application code for calls to vector store query methods such as 'similaritySearch', 'query', or similar VectorStore operations. Inspect logs or tracing for vector query execution patterns.
    Affected if The application executes vector store queries using the affected Spring AI versions

You are affected if your application runs Spring AI version 1.0.0-1.0.8 or 1.1.0-1.1.7 AND uses Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, or GemFire vector stores to perform query operations.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 1.0.9 / 1.1.8 or later
Fixed in 1.0.91.1.8
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Spring AI to version 1.0.9 or 1.1.8 or later to obtain the fix. As an interim measure, implement strict input validation and sanitization of special characters in all vector store query operations.

Recommended fix High confidence

Spring AI 1.0.9 or 1.1.8 (or later)

  1. Upgrade Spring AI to version 1.0.9 or later if using the 1.0.x line
  2. Alternatively, upgrade to version 1.1.8 or later if using the 1.1.x line
  3. Verify the upgrade by checking the Spring AI version in your project dependencies
  4. Test that vector store queries function correctly after the upgrade
