Web frontend interruption via version-header cache pollution
Published Oct 31, 2025 · Updated Oct 31, 2025
Cache pollution in the UI middleware in Open-Xchange OX App Suite 2.1.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to interrupt the web frontend. The middleware accepts a client-supplied version header as a new cache version, allowing crafted API requests to fill caches and evict data needed by the frontend. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation makes the web frontend unavailable without affecting confidentiality or integrity.
