CVE-2023-24998 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Apache Commons FileUpload before 1.5 does not limit the number of request parts to be processed resulting in the possibility of an attacker triggering a DoS with a malicious upload or series of uploads. Note that, like all of the file upload limits, the new configuration option (FileUploadBase#setFileCountMax) is not enabled by default and must be explicitly configured.. EPSS estimates a 46.84% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
