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.
Denial of service in Apache Neethi versions before 3.2.3 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass a limit on normalized policy alternatives using crafted WS-Policy documents, causing resource exhaustion. The flaw was introduced with the limit in version 3.2.2 and has a CVSS of 7.5 but very low EPSS probability (0.33%), with no active exploitation or public exploit code reported. Upgrading to version 3.2.3 fully resolves the issue.
Denial of service via memory exhaustion in Apache Neethi versions prior to 3.2.3 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash services by supplying crafted policies with deep nesting or missing Policy Ids. No public exploit or active exploitation is known; EPSS score (0.33%) indicates low current exploitation probability. Users should upgrade to version 3.2.3.
Algorithmic complexity denial of service in Apache Neethi allows remote unauthenticated attackers to exhaust JVM heap memory via malicious WS-Policy documents. Specially crafted policy documents trigger exponential Cartesian cross-product expansion during normalization, generating unbounded policy alternatives that consume all available memory. Apache has released version 3.2.2 with normalization limits to prevent exploitation. EPSS data not available; no CISA KEV listing identified at time of analysis.
Denial of Service in Apache Neethi WS-Policy processor allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash applications or cause resource exhaustion by sending crafted policy documents with circular references. The vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) triggers infinite loops or stack overflow during policy normalization when Policy A references Policy B which references Policy A. Apache released version 3.2.2 to address this flaw. With network vector, low complexity, and no authentication required (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N), this represents a readily exploitable attack surface for applications parsing untrusted WS-Policy documents, though no public exploit or active exploitation (KEV) has been identified at time of analysis.
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Apache Neethi allows remote attackers to make arbitrary outbound requests to internal IP addresses and non-HTTP/HTTPS protocols when an application explicitly calls the PolicyReference API to retrieve remote policies. The vulnerability affects all versions before 3.2.2, which restricts URI schemes to HTTP/HTTPS and blocks link-local, multicast, and any-local addresses. No active exploitation has been confirmed at this time.
