Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-55163)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-58057)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources in BrotliDecoder and some other decompressing decoders. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-58056)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP/1.1 requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


4) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-48924)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the methods ClassUtils.getClass(...) can throw StackOverflowError on very long inputs. Because an Error is usually not handled by applications and libraries, a StackOverflowError could cause an application to stop. A remote attacker can trigger uncontrolled recursion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50571)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


6) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-48734)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions to enum properties. If an application using Commons BeanUtils passes property paths from an external source directly to the getProperty() method of PropertyUtilsBean, an attacker can access the enum’s class loader via the “declaredClass” property available on all Java “enum” objects. Accessing the enum’s “declaredClass” allows remote attackers to access the ClassLoader and execute arbitrary code. The same issue exists with PropertyUtilsBean.getNestedProperty().


7) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-53864)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack via a deeply nested JSON object supplied in a JWT claim set.
