Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for commons-configuration.

CVE-2025-46392[0]:
| Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Apache Commons
| Configuration 1.x.  There are a number of issues in Apache Commons
| Configuration 1.x that allow excessive resource consumption when
| loading untrusted configurations or using unexpected usage patterns.
| The Apache Commons Configuration team does not intend to fix these
| issues in 1.x. Apache Commons Configuration 1.x is still safe to use
| in scenario's where you only load trusted configurations.    Users
| that load untrusted configurations or give attackers control over
| usage patterns are recommended to upgrade to the 2.x version line,
| which fixes these issues. Apache Commons Configuration 2.x is not a
| drop-in replacement, but as it uses a separate Maven groupId and
| Java package namespace they can be loaded side-by-side, making it
| possible to do a gradual migration.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
