Technical details

The vulnerability is characterized by the absence of depth limitations in GraphQL queries, which creates a security weakness in the query processing mechanism. The severity of this vulnerability has been assessed with a CVSS v4.0 score of 8.7 (HIGH), with the vector string CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. The vulnerability has been classified under CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) (NVD).

Impact

The primary impact of this vulnerability is the potential for denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by executing complex queries that consume excessive server resources, potentially rendering the service unavailable to legitimate users (Liferay Advisory).
