CVE-2026-66144 Details
Description
Although remote policy references are not retrieved during policy normalization, if they are manually retrieved via the API it can cause a denial of service attack if a huge policy is retrieved. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.3, which fixes this issue by imposing a default maximum size on data read from remote policy references.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Apache Neethi versions prior to 3.2.3. The issue arises when remote policy references are manually retrieved via the API, potentially leading to a denial-of-service condition if a large policy is fetched. Although remote policy references are not automatically retrieved during policy normalization, the manual retrieval can cause significant resource strain. The recommended action is to upgrade to version 3.2.3, which addresses this vulnerability by setting a default maximum size on data read from remote policy references.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Neethi version 3.2.3 or later.
