Denial Of Service

Apache Neethi is vulnerable to Denial of Service. The vulnerability is due to remote policy references being manually retrieved via the API without size limits, where the library reads data from remote policy references without imposing a maximum size and an attacker can supply a huge policy...

Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

Apache Neethi is vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption. The vulnerability is due to insufficient enforcement of the maximum number of normalized policy alternatives, which allows an attacker to submit crafted policies that bypass the limit and consume excessive resources, causing a...

CVE-2026-91866

A flaw was found in Neethi. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted WS-Policy documents. This could force Neethi's policy-intersection to perform an exponential amount of work, leading to a denial of service DoS by consuming excessive CPU resources...

CVE-2026-91865

A flaw was found in Apache Neethi. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted WS-Policy document containing repeated policy references. This document would force Neethi to exponentially re-expand the same references during normalization, consuming excessiv...

CVE-2026-91864

A flaw was found in Apache Neethi. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted WS-Policy document. This document can contain unlimited content within a policy assertion, which Neethi processes without proper size limits. This can lead to memory exhaustion,...

CVE-2026-91863

A flaw was found in Apache Neethi. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted WS-Policy document containing deeply nested policy elements. This crafted document can bypass the parser's nesting-depth limit, leading to uncontrolled recursion that exhausts the...

Security Bulletin: IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management products using IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty is affected by uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerabilities due to Apache Neethi (CVE-2026-66142, CVE-2026-66143, CVE-2026-66144)

Summary There is a vulnerability in the Apache Neethi library that affects IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty with the jaxws-2.2, xmlWS-3.0, and xmlWS-4.0 enabled. Vulnerability Details Refer to the security bulletins listed in the Remediation/Fixes section Affected Products and Versions...

CVE-2026-91866

A specially crafted pair of WS-Policy documents can force Neethi's policy-intersection to do exponential amounts of work, pinning the CPU for a long time denial of service. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.4, which fixes this issue...

CVE-2026-91867

When Neethi fetches a remote policy reference, it only limits the time per read, not the whole transfer, so a server that trickles bytes slowly can keep the fetch alive indefinitely and tie up the calling thread denial of service. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.4, which fixes thi...

CVE-2026-91863

A specially crafted WS-Policy document with deeply nested policy elements can bypass Neethi's nesting-depth limit and exhaust the thread stack, crashing the parser denial of service. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.4, which fixes this issue...

CVE-2026-91865

A small WS-Policy document using repeated policy references can force Neethi to re-expand the same references exponentially during normalization, consuming huge amounts of CPU and memory denial of service. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.4, which fixes this issue...

CVE-2026-91864

A specially crafted WS-Policy document can pack unlimited content inside a policy assertion, which Neethi copies into memory without counting it against its size limits, exhausting the heap denial of service. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.4, which fixes this issue...

CVE-2026-91867

Apache Neethi is vulnerable to a denial of service (DoS) condition because it lacks a total timeout when fetching remote policy references. While the system limits time per read, a malicious or slow server can trickle bytes slowly to keep the fetch alive indefinitely, tying up the calling thread....

CVE-2026-91867 Apache Neethi: Remote policy fetch lacks a total timeout, allowing a slow server to hang the request indefinitely

When Neethi fetches a remote policy reference, it only limits the time per read, not the whole transfer, so a server that trickles bytes slowly can keep the fetch alive indefinitely and tie up the calling thread denial of service. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.4, which fixes thi...

CVE-2026-91866 Apache Neethi: Crafted policies cause unbounded work during intersection leading to denial of service

A specially crafted pair of WS-Policy documents can force Neethi's policy-intersection to do exponential amounts of work, pinning the CPU for a long time denial of service. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.4, which fixes this issue...
