1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31958)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in multipart/form-data parsing on the main thread when processing very large multipart request bodies with many parts. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted multipart/form-data request to cause a denial of service.
The number of multipart parts is limited only by the max_body_size setting.
CWE-ID: CWE-74 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject attacker-controlled cookie attributes.
The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of special elements in output used by a downstream component in RequestHandler.set_cookie when processing the domain, path, and samesite arguments. A remote attacker can supply input containing semicolons to inject attacker-controlled cookie attributes.
User interaction is required for exploitation.
