CVE-2023-40743

UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED When integrating Apache Axis 1.x in an
application, it may not have been obvious that looking up a service through
“ServiceFactory.getService” allows potentially dangerous lookup mechanisms
such as LDAP. When passing untrusted input to this API method, this could
expose the application to DoS, SSRF and even attacks leading to RCE. As
Axis 1 has been EOL we recommend you migrate to a different SOAP engine,
such as Apache Axis 2/Java. As a workaround, you may review your code to
verify no untrusted or unsanitized input is passed to
“ServiceFactory.getService”, or by applying the patch from
https://github.com/apache/axis-axis1-java/commit/7e66753427466590d6def0125e448d2791723210
. The Apache Axis project does not expect to create an Axis 1.x release
fixing this problem, though contributors that would like to work towards
this are welcome.
