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-2024-41172 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-http (Maven): affected from 3.6.0; fixed in 3.6.4\n- org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-http (Maven): affected from 3.6.0; fixed in 3.6.4\n- org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-http (Maven): affected from 4.0.0; fixed in 4.0.5\n- org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-http (Maven): affected from 4.0.0; fixed in 4.0.5\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-2024-41172/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-41172/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-41172","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-41172/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-41172","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4mgg-fqfq-64hg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java web services library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause memory exhaustion in applications using Apache CXF HTTP clients, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"cxf","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In versions of Apache CXF before 3.6.4 and 4.0.5 (3.5.x and lower versions are not impacted), a CXF HTTP client conduit may prevent HTTPClient instances from being garbage collected and it is possible that memory consumption will continue to increase, eventually causing the application to run  out of memory","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":"Apache CXF: Unrestricted memory consumption in CXF HTTP clients","id":"CVE-2024-41172","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:cxf","products":["apache:cxf"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2024"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Beckhoff: Local authentication bypass in the IPC-Diagnostics package included in TwinCAT/BSD","id":"CVE-2024-41173"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.6.4"],"introduced":["3.6.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-http","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4mgg-fqfq-64hg"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.6.4"],"introduced":["3.6.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-http","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.cxf/cxf-rt-transports-http","source":"GHSA-4mgg-fqfq-64hg"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["4.0.5"],"introduced":["4.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-http","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4mgg-fqfq-64hg"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["4.0.5"],"introduced":["4.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-http","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.cxf/cxf-rt-transports-http","source":"GHSA-4mgg-fqfq-64hg"}],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in SINUMERIK 828D V4","id":"CVE-2024-41171"},"products":["Apache CXF"],"published":"2024-07-19","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"XML Signature/Encryption Not Validated in Apache CXF","id":"CVE-2012-2379","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-01-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache CXF: Unsafe deserialization of inbound JMS ObjectMessage","id":"CVE-2026-66909","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache CXF: DefaultEncryptingCodeDataProvider allows unlimited authorization code replay","id":"CVE-2026-68079","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache CXF: OAuth2: Inverted IP Binding Check Defeats Security Control","id":"CVE-2026-50628","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache CXF: Untrusted JMS configuration can lead to RCE","id":"CVE-2025-48913","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache CXF SSRF Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-46364","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Potential session hijack in Apache CXF","id":"CVE-2019-12419","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-06"}],"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":"2024-09-13","vendors":["Apache Software Foundation"]},"summary":"An attacker can cause memory exhaustion in applications using Apache CXF HTTP clients, leading to denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-41172/"}
