Summary

Improper input validation in the Apache Sling Commons JSON bundle allows an attacker to trigger unexpected errors by supplying specially-crafted input.

The org.apache.sling.commons.json bundle has been deprecated as of March 2017 and should not be used anymore. Consumers are encouraged to consider the Apache Sling Commons Johnzon OSGi bundle provided by the Apache Sling project, but may of course use other JSON libraries.

Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
