CVE-2026-91867
Last modified
CVE-2026-91867 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.3/10 on the CVSS scale. When Neethi fetches a remote policy reference, it only limits the time per read, not the whole transfer, so a server that trickles bytes slowly can keep the fetch alive indefinitely and tie up the calling thread (denial of service). Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.4, which fixes this issue.. EPSS estimates a 0.33% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
