Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the normalization performed by the AbstractPolicyOperator class. An attacker can cause unbounded memory allocation and exhaust the JVM heap by submitting malicious WS-Policy...

EUVD-2026-26485

Apache Neethi is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack through algorithmic complexity in policy normalization. Specially crafted WS-Policy documents can trigger an exponential Cartesian cross-product expansion during the normalization process, causing unbounded memory allocation that exhausts...

CVE-2026-42403 Apache Neethi: Circular Policy Reference Infinite Loop

Apache Neethi does not properly detect circular references in policy definitions. When a WS-Policy document contains circular policy references where Policy A references Policy B which references Policy A, the policy normalization process can enter an infinite loop or cause excessive recursion,...

apache-cxf: Certain child policies of WS-SecurityPolicy 1.1 SupportingToken policy not applied on the client side

Apache CXF 2.4.5 through 2.4.7, 2.5.1 through 2.5.3, and 2.6.x before 2.6.1, does not properly enforce child policies of a WS-SecurityPolicy 1.1 SupportingToken policy on the client side, which allows remote attackers to bypass the 1 AlgorithmSuite, 2 SignedParts, 3 SignedElements, 4...
