The Eclipse Foundation is a [Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures](https://cve.mitre.org/) (CVE) Numbering Authority.
Creating this ticket initiates **reservation** of a CVE ID for the documented vulnerability. The reserved CVE ID will be posted in a comment below, and kept **confidential** until explicit publication request.
> [!note]

## CVE record information
**Project name:** Eclipse Mnestix
**Project id:** dt.mnestix
<!--Required (for publication). Specify the version range as precisely as possible, e.g., "[3.0, 3.5.1]" or "[3.0, 3.5.1)". Note that using the standard range notion, square brackets are inclusive (i.e., that version is included in the range), and round brakets are exclusive (the vulnerability affects all versions up to but not including the named version).
Multiple ranges can be provided.-->
**Versions affected:** \[0.1.0, 1.5.0)
<!--Required (for publication). The Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) code comes from here: https://cwe.mitre.org/, e.g., "CWE-93: Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection')". Multiple codes can be provided.-->
**Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE):**
- CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
<!--Required (for publication). The summary should start with the name of the project, e.g., "Eclipse Vert.x", then a description of the affected versions, followed by a description of the problem. The summary should be concise. For example,
"In Eclipse Vert.x version 3.0 to 3.5.1, the HttpServer response
headers and HttpClient request headers do not filter carriage return and
line feed characters from the header value. This allow unfiltered values
to inject a new header in the client request or server response."-->
**Summary:**
In Eclipse Mnestix AAS Generator versions 0.1.0 up until but excluding 1.5.0, a practical upper bound on the client-supplied count parameter of the GET /api/v1/IdGenerator/submodelIds/{count} and GET /api/v2/IdGenerator/submodelIds/{count} endpoints is not enforced. The service generates and retains identifiers in memory before returning a response. A remote unauthenticated attacker can submit a large count to cause excessive memory consumption, potentially resulting in denial of service. Exploitation requires network access to the endpoint and successful retrieval of the ID-generation configuration from the configured backend repository.
<!--Required (for publication). Include a link to the issue (e.g., GitHub Security Advisory) that's being used to track/resolve the issue. Other links that provide more information can be provided. For example, you may later publish the link to the fix commit.-->
