Severity: low

Affected versions:

- Apache Commons Configuration 1 before 2.0.0

Description:

Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Apache Commons Configuration 
1.x.

There are a number of issues in Apache Commons Configuration 1.x that allow 
excessive resource consumption when loading untrusted configurations or using 
unexpected usage patterns. The Apache Commons Configuration team does not 
intend to fix these issues in 1.x. Apache Commons Configuration 1.x is still 
safe to use in scenario's where you only load trusted configurations. 


Users that load untrusted configurations or give attackers control over usage 
patterns are recommended to upgrade to the 2.x version line, which fixes these 
issues. Apache Commons Configuration 2.x is not a drop-in replacement, but as 
it uses a separate Maven groupId and Java package namespace they can be loaded 
side-by-side, making it possible to do a gradual migration.
