CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in Spring Expression Language (SpEL) expression evaluation when processing user-supplied expressions that use the power operator with a BigDecimal or BigInteger operand and a large exponent value. A remote attacker can submit a specially crafted expression to cause a denial of service.
Exploitation requires that the application accept and evaluate untrusted SpEL expressions and that a BigDecimal or BigInteger value be accessible within the evaluation context.
