Description
Rate limiting for certain API calls is not being enforced, making HCL Velocity vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. An attacker could flood the system with a large number of requests, overwhelming its resources and causing it to become unresponsive to legitimate users. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.1.7.
