CVE-2026-108039

By default, StaxUtils placed no limit on the total number of elements or the total number of characters in an XML document. A very large request could therefore use a lot of memory and CPU during parsing, especially where CXF builds a DOM from the input for example SAAJ or WS-Security, and could...

XML External Entity

Apache CXF is vulnerable to XML External Entity attacks. The vulnerability is due to the use of WSDL4J for processing imported or documents without disabling DOCTYPE declarations or external entities, where the hardened StaxUtils path only protects the top‑level WSDL and does not extend to these...
