{"cve":"CVE-2023-40743","nvd":{"published":"2023-09-05T15:15:42.687","modified":"2026-06-17T06:19:19.003","status":"Modified","description":"** 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.\n\nAs 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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-20","CWE-75"],"references":["https://github.com/apache/axis-axis1-java/commit/7e66753427466590d6def0125e448d2791723210","https://lists.apache.org/thread/gs0qgk2mgss7zfhzdd6ftfjvm4kp7v82","https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/10/msg00025.html","https://github.com/apache/axis-axis1-java/commit/7e66753427466590d6def0125e448d2791723210","https://lists.apache.org/thread/gs0qgk2mgss7zfhzdd6ftfjvm4kp7v82"],"products":["apache:axis"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:39:24.235896374+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-40743","score":0.03281,"percentile":0.88446,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-rmqp-9w4c-gc7w","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-rmqp-9w4c-gc7w","summary":"Apache Axis 1.x (EOL) may allow RCE when untrusted input is passed to getService","modified":"2025-02-13T19:36:00.977461Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.apache.axis:axis","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.axis/axis","ranges":["<=1.4"],"fixed":[]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"axis:axis","purl":"pkg:maven/axis/axis","ranges":["<=1.4"],"fixed":[]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
