CVE-2019-12406

6.5 mediumEPSS 6.3%

Medium (6.5). EPSS 6.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in org.apache.cxf:cxf 3.2.11, 3.3.4.

Apache CXF before 3.3.4 and 3.2.11 does not restrict the number of message attachments present in a given message. This leaves open the possibility of a denial of service type attack, where a malicious user crafts a message containing a very large number of message attachments. From the 3.3.4 and 3.2.11 releases, a default limit of 50 message attachments is enforced. This is configurable via the message property "attachment-max-count".
