HIGH 7.5EPSS 2.07%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.07%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The AsyncResponseWrapperImpl class in Apache Olingo versions 4.0.0 to 4.6.0 reads the Retry-After header and passes it to the Thread.sleep() method without any check. If a malicious server returns a huge value in the header, then it can help to implement a DoS attack.
