DescriptionCVE.org

An issue in the JsonSanitizer.sanitize() component of OWASP json-sanitizer v1.2.3 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted input.

AnalysisAI

Resource exhaustion in OWASP json-sanitizer v1.2.3 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger a Denial of Service by supplying a crafted payload to the JsonSanitizer.sanitize() method. Any Java application that passes untrusted or externally supplied input through this library is affected, making the attack surface proportional to the library's adoption in internet-facing services. …
