Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity

CVE-2024-23684

High
7.5/10

Summary

Inefficient algorithmic complexity in DecodeFromBytes function in "com.upokecenter.cbor" Java implementation of Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) versions 4.0.x prior to 4.5.1 allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DOS) by passing a maliciously crafted input. Depending on an application's use of this library, this may be a remote attacker.
