CVE-2023-2798

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions htmlunit versions prior to 2.70.0

Description The issue allows an attacker to cause a denial of service attack by supplying content that causes htmlunit to crash due to a stack overflow when running on user-supplied web pages. This can happen when htmlunit is used to browse untrusted webpages.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.70.0, update to version 2.70.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of htmlunit for browsing untrusted web pages until the update is applied.
