Severity by source
Sources disagree (Low–High)AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Network-reachable parsing of attacker schemas with low complexity and no auth typical for web-services stacks; impact is availability-only (stack-overflow crash), so C:N/I:N/A:H.
vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

Apache XmlSchema doesn't limit how deeply schema imports and includes can be nested, so a malicious schema can make parsing recurse until the stack overflows. This causes a denial of service. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.3.3, which fixes this issue.

AnalysisAI
Stack overflow denial of service in Apache XmlSchema versions before 2.3.3 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash applications that parse attacker-controlled XML schemas by supplying a schema with deeply nested imports or includes. The library lacks a recursion depth limit during schema resolution, so a malicious schema can exhaust the call stack. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires that the host application feed an attacker-controlled XML schema (or a WSDL/XSD that imports/includes attacker-controlled schema documents) into Apache XmlSchema's parser prior to version 2.3.3. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | No CVSS vector, EPSS, KEV, or POC data is provided in the input, so risk must be inferred from the description and product identity. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: Apache XmlSchema 2.3.3 fixes this issue. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
