Stop feeding it untrusted input: reject or quarantine files and payloads from unverified sources until you can upgrade, restrict accepted formats to the ones you actually need, and run the parsing or decoding step in a least-privileged sandbox or short-lived worker so a crash or corrupted read cannot reach the rest of the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Those using Jettison to parse untrusted XML or JSON data may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks (DOS). If the parser is running on user supplied input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to crash by stackoverflow. This effect may support a denial of service attack. ### References - https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-40149 - https://github.com/jettison-json/jettison/issues/45 - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/detail?id=46538 - https://github.com/jettison-json/jettison/pull/49/files - https://github.com/jettison-json/jettison/releases/tag/jettison-
