CVE-2023-40743 Information

Description

UNSUPPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED When integrating Apache Axis 1.x in an application it may not have been obvious that looking up a service through \ServiceFactory.getService\ allows potentially dangerous lookup mechanisms such as LDAP. When passing untrusted input to this API method this could expose the application to DoS SSRF and even attacks leading to RCE.

As Axis 1 has been EOL we recommend you migrate to a different SOAP engine such as Apache Axis 2/Java. As a workaround you may review your code to verify no untrusted or unsanitized input is passed to \ServiceFactory.getService\ or by applying the patch from https://github.com/apache/axis-axis1-java/commit/7e66753427466590d6def0125e448d2791723210 . The Apache Axis project does not expect to create an Axis 1.x release fixing this problem though contributors that would like to work towards this are welcome.
