Lifecycle Timeline

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.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in Apache Neethi versions before 3.2.3 allows remote attackers to exhaust resources by manually retrieving an oversized remote policy via the API. The vulnerability is unauthenticated and network exploitable, but no active exploitation has been reported. A patch is available in version 3.2.3, which enforces a maximum size on remote policy references.
