CVE-2026-11873
Last modified
CVE-2026-11873 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. An Apache-proxied Dogtag CA REST endpoint exposed by IdM (POST /ca/rest/certrequests) returns HTTP 500 with internal Java stack traces for unauthenticated malformed requests. The same unauthenticated error path emits large multi-line stack traces into the CA debug log, creating a log-amplification resource exhaustion vector (disk growth and I/O contention) without requiring authentication.. EPSS estimates a 0.46% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
