An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-5072 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.json:json (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 20231013\n- org.json:json (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 20231013\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5072/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5072/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-5072","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5072/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-5072","record":{"aliases":["CLEANSTART-2026-RW83573","CLSA-2025-1761091596","CLSA-2025-1761177997","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-5072","ECHO-8c7a-7f94-5491","GHSA-4jq9-2xhw-jpx7","MINI-7r6w-wm6x-wrf3","ROOT-APP-MAVEN-CVE-2023-5072","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-5072"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java JSON library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by sending a small input string that triggers excessive memory consumption in the JSON-Java parser.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Google","cpe":[{"product":"json-java","vendor":"stleary"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"Denial of Service  in JSON-Java versions up to and including 20230618.  A bug in the parser means that an input string of modest size can lead to indefinite amounts of memory being used.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"DoS Vulnerability in JSON-Java","id":"CVE-2023-5072","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"iframe forms \u003c= 1.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via iframe Shortcode","id":"CVE-2023-5073"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["20231013"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.json:json","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4jq9-2xhw-jpx7"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["20231013"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.json:json","purl":"pkg:maven/org.json/json","source":"GHSA-4jq9-2xhw-jpx7"}],"prev":{"headline":"Sitekit \u003c= 1.4 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'sitekit_iframe' shortcode","id":"CVE-2023-5071"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-10-12","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-13","vendors":["https://github.com/stleary/JSON-java"]},"summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by sending a small input string that triggers excessive memory consumption in the JSON-Java parser.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5072/"}
