Описание
HAPI FHIR is a complete implementation of the HL7 FHIR standard for healthcare interoperability in Java. Prior to 6.9.10, the fix for CVE-2026-45367 incompletely patched the DSTU2 module, leaving FHIRPathEngine.matches() in org.hl7.fhir.dstu2/utils/FHIRPathEngine.java to call raw String.matches(sw) without RegexTimeout protection while replaceMatches() was updated, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to trigger catastrophic regex backtracking and exhaust server CPU. This issue is fixed in version 6.9.10.
A flaw was found in HAPI FHIR, a Java implementation of the HL7 FHIR standard. The fix for a previous vulnerability (CVE-2026-45367) was incomplete in the DSTU2 module. Specifically, the FHIRPathEngine.matches() function in org.hl7.fhir.dstu2 did not include protection against regular expression timeouts. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to submit a specially crafted FHIRPath expression, triggering catastrophic regular expression (regex) backtracking. The consequence is a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS), which can exhaust server CPU resources and lead to service disruption.
Отчет
This flaw is rated as Important because an unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit an incomplete patch in the HAPI FHIR DSTU2 module. By submitting a specially crafted FHIRPath expression, an attacker can trigger a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attack, leading to significant resource exhaustion and service unavailability on affected systems.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
