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.
