SB2026071204 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in jackson-core

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.

1) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: N/A)

CWE-ID: CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

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 allocation of resources without limits or throttling in the NonBlockingUtf8JsonParserBase async parser when processing chunked JSON input containing an unterminated integer value. A remote attacker can stream many small chunks of digits without sending a terminator byte to cause a denial of service.

The issue affects the non-blocking streaming path and validation is deferred until the number is completed or end of input is reached.

Remediation
