CVE-2026-66144

Apache Neethi: Remote PolicyReference fetch lacks resource bounds

Published Jul 24, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Although remote policy references are not retrieved during policy normalization, if they are manually retrieved via the API it can cause a denial of service attack if a huge policy is retrieved. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.3, which fixes this issue by imposing a default maximum size on data read from remote policy references.
