Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due several issues in the loading of untrusted configurations. An attacker can cause excessive resource consumption by manipulating the configuration data or introducing unexpected usage patterns. Users affected by this issue are recommended to upgrade to the 2.x version line org.apache.commons:commons-configuration2, which fixes these issues.

Note: This is only exploitable if the application is configured to load untrusted configurations.
