Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.59%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
JPA Server in HAPI FHIR before 5.4.0 allows a user to deny service (e.g., disable access to the database after the attack stops) via history requests. This occurs because of a SELECT COUNT statement that requires a full index scan, with an accompanying large amount of server resources if there are many simultaneous history requests.
