CVE-2026-66144

Although remote policy references are not retrieved during policy normalization, if they are manually retrieved via the API it can cause a denial of service attack if a huge policy is retrieved. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.3, which fixes this issue by imposing a default maximum size on data read from remote policy references.

Summary		(es) Aunque las referencias de políticas remotas no se recuperan durante la normalización de políticas, si se recuperan manualmente a través de la API puede causar un ataque de denegación de servicio si se recupera una política enorme. Se recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a la versión 3.2.3, que soluciona este problema al imponer un tamaño máximo predeterminado a los datos leídos de las referencias de políticas remotas.
