- Affected
- PyPI soappy <= 0.12.5
- Fixed in
- 0.12.6· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- SOAPpy 0.12.5 does not properly detect recursion during entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a crafted SOAP request containing a large number of nested entity references.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.12.6 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
