CVE-2026-66142 Details
Description
Apache Neethi is vulnerable to uncontrolled recursion when parsing policies that lack policy Ids or with deeply nested structures, which may lead to a denial of service attack when parsing policies due to runtime memory exhaustion. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.3, which fixes this issue.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Apache Neethi versions prior to 3.2.3. The issue arises from uncontrolled recursion when the software parses policies that either lack policy IDs or contain deeply nested structures. This recursion can exhaust runtime memory, leading to a denial-of-service condition.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Neethi version 3.2.3 or later, which addresses this vulnerability.
