CVE-2026-22730: CVE-2026-22730: SQL Injection in Spring AI MariaDBFilterExpressionConverter

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.54% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: VMware Spring AI 1.0.4, 1.1.3.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to VMware Spring AI 1.0.4, 1.1.3 or later.
