Spring Data's internal property-lookup cache accepts and permanently retains attacker-supplied strings as cache keys, allowing heap exhaustion through repeated requests. Affected versions: Spring Data Commons 2.7.0 through 2.7.19; 3.3.0 through 3.3.16; 3.4.0 through 3.4.14; 3.5.0 through 3.5.11; 4.0.0 through 4.0.5.
The CVSS severity warrants an early asset and exposure review.

Confirm exposure before applying a vendor-supported change.
Confirm that Spring Spring Data Commons, spring data commons and an affected version are present.
Combine exploitation signals with asset exposure and business criticality.
Follow the vendor advisory or supported update path and preserve rollback options.
Recheck the version, service health, access paths, and relevant logs.
