An application that exposes an endpoint collecting Content Security Policy violation reports reads the submitted report into memory without bounding how much it will accept, so a single request can exhaust the heap and deny service to other users. Such endpoints are ordinarily reachable without authentication. The core distribution maps no such endpoint by default; applications that do not collect violation reports are not affected.\n\nThis issue affects Apache Struts: from 6.0.0 through 6.10.0, from 7.0.0 through 7.2.1.\n\nUsers are recommended to upgrade to version 6.11.0 or 7.3.0, which fixes the issue.","published":"2026-08-15T11:16:27.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-18T17:46:04.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"security@apache.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-400"],"affected":["apache/struts"],"epss":{"score":0.00425,"percentile":0.36563,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.43%).
