CVE-2026-66144
NVD: Although remote policy references are not retrieved during policy normalization, if they are manually retrieved via the API it can cause a denial of service attack if a huge policy is retrieved. NVD: Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.3, which fixes this issue by imposing a default maximum size on data read from remote policy references. OSV: Apache Neethi: Remote PolicyReference fetch lacks resource bounds
