CVE-2026-91866 [HIGH] CWE-1333 Neethi: Neethi: Denial of Service via crafted WS-Policy documents
Neethi: Neethi: Denial of Service via crafted WS-Policy documents
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.
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.
