FKIE_CVE-2007-3816

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2007-07-17 00:30 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:42
Severity
7.5 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
JWIG might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (service degradation) via loops of references to external templates. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by multiple third parties who state that only the application developer can trigger the issue, so no privilege boundaries are crossed. However, it seems possible that this is a vulnerability class to which an JWIG application may be vulnerable if template contents can be influenced, but this would be an issue in the application itself, not JWIG

De todos modos, parece posible que este sea un tipo de vulnerabilidad a la que una aplicaci\u00f3n JWIG podr\u00eda ser vulnerable si los contenidos de la plantilla pueden ser influenciados, pero esto ser\u00eda un problema en la aplicaci\u00f3n misma, no JWIG."
