description

Hibernate Validator can consume excessive resources when it processes attacker-controlled data in Expression Language expressions. A remote attacker may cause a denial of service if they can cause such data to reach the affected validation path.

mitigation

For affected WebSphere Liberty installations, apply IBM APAR DT505010. Until an applicable vendor update is deployed, limit untrusted input reaching Expression Language-backed validation paths and apply resource limits where practical.
