KEV: No
Impact: Denial of Service

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises because OIDC discovery and JWKS fetches execute synchronously on the asyncio event loop before authentication. When an unauthenticated request triggers these operations, the entire service stalls, leading to a denial of service. The weakness is a lack of asynchronous handling and resource isolation, identified by CWE-400.

Affected Systems

Eclipse Foundation Eclipse CSI – PIA. No specific version information is listed, so the issue applies to all releases that have not yet been patched.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a moderate severity. EPSS data is unavailable, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, suggesting that while exploitation is possible, it may not be widespread yet. The likely attack vector consists of unauthenticated HTTP requests to the OIDC discovery or JWKS endpoints, which can be repeatedly sent to stall the service.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Eclipse CSI PIA to a patched release when one becomes available
  • Modify the application to perform OIDC discovery and JWKS fetches asynchronously, for example by executing them in a separate thread or async task so they do not block the main event loop
  • Restrict or rate‑limit unauthenticated access to the OIDC discovery and JWKS endpoints to reduce the ability to trigger the stall
