CVE-2026-102495
UnknownSummary
Apache XmlSchema does not limit how deeply schema imports and includes can be nested, so a malicious schema can make parsing recurse until the stack overflows. This causes a denial of service. The issue is fixed in version 2.3.3.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can supply a crafted XML schema and cause stack exhaustion and a crash of the application processing schemas. This results in service unavailability for legitimate users.
Recommendation
Upgrade Apache XmlSchema to version 2.3.3 or later. Until then, restrict processing of untrusted XML schemas.
Other vulnerabilities in Apache XmlSchema
See all- CVE-2026-102497Unknown
The Apache XmlSchema walker (xmlschema-walker) doesn't detect cycles in type derivation, substitution groups, model groups or attribute groups. A malicious schema with such a cycle can make the walker recurse until the stack overflows, causing a denial of service. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.3.3.
