Subject: CVE-2026-66142: Apache Neethi: Uncontrolled recursion in policy
 processing 

Severity: moderate 

Affected versions:

- Apache Neethi (org.apache.neethi:neethi) before 3.2.3

Description:

Apache Neethi is vulnerable to uncontrolled recursion when parsing policies that lack policy Ids or with deeply nested structures, which may lead to a denial of service attack when parsing policies due to runtime memory exhaustion. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.3, which fixes this issue.
