| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in Apache Neethi. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted WS-Policy document containing deeply nested policy elements. This crafted document can bypass the parser's nesting-depth limit, leading to uncontrolled recursion that exhausts the thread stack. Successful exploitation results in a denial of service, causing the parser to crash.
