Hi, The following vulnerability was published for jsoup. CVE-2021-37714[0]: | jsoup is a Java library for working with HTML. Those using jsoup | versions prior to 1.14.2 to parse untrusted HTML or XML may be | vulnerable to DOS attacks. If the parser is run on user supplied | input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to get | stuck (loop indefinitely until cancelled), to complete more slowly | than usual, or to throw an unexpected exception. This effect may | support a denial of service attack. The issue is patched in version | 1.14.2. There are a few available workarounds. Users may rate limit | input parsing, limit the size of inputs based on system resources, | and/or implement thread watchdogs to cap and timeout parse runtimes. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
