Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Versions of org.owasp.esapi:esapi before 2.5.2.0 are affected by a denial-of-service vulnerability in the file upload handling of HTTPUtilities.getFileUploads, which remains open in ESAPI and in Apache Commons FileUpload. The source does not give detailed attack conditions beyond the upload handling. Upgrade to ESAPI 2.5.2.0 or later, which is the listed fix, and consider a WAF or upload limits, authentication, and per-user upload quotas in application code.
