Technical details
In Spring AI's tool calling support, the per-request tool list is advertised to the model as a boundary but is not fully enforced when a tool call is dispatched. Under certain conditions, a tool that was not made available to the current request could be invoked. This is a tool access control bypass vulnerability in the request handling layer. The vulnerability affects versions 1.0.0–1.0.9, 1.1.0–1.1.8, and 2.0.0. No evidence of active exploitation in the wild has been reported. Patches are expected from the Spring project.
