CVE-2025-30145
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedGeoServer is an open source server that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. Malicious Jiffle scripts can be executed by GeoServer, either as a rendering transformation in WMS dynamic styles or as a WPS process, that can enter an infinite loop to trigger denial of service. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.27.0, 2.26.3, and 2.25.7. This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling WMS dynamic styling and the Jiffle process.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysisCrafted input drives a loop whose exit condition is never satisfied, hanging the thread and starving the service of the resource it occupies. A single request can be enough to take a worker down. Remediation is bounding iteration counts and validating the conditions that are supposed to terminate the loop.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2.25.72.26.3
2.27.0 (or nearest fixed patch: 2.26.3 for 2.26.x, 2.25.7 for 2.25.x)
- 1. Identify the current GeoServer version by checking the GeoServer admin interface or the installed geosever.war file name
- 2. Stop the GeoServer service to prevent data corruption during upgrade
- 3. Create a complete backup of the GeoServer data directory (usually $GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR) and configuration files
- 4. Download the appropriate fixed version based on your current version: for 2.25.x upgrade to 2.25.7, for 2.26.x upgrade to 2.26.3, or for 2.24.x/2.23.x upgrade to 2.27.0
- 5. If using WAR deployment, replace the geoserver.war file in your application server (Tomcat, Jetty, etc.) with the new version
- 6. If using installer, run the installer for the new version
- 7. Restore the backed-up data directory and configuration to the new installation
- 8. Start the GeoServer service
