Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Exposure of Data Element to Wrong Session (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-73631)
CWE-ID: CWE-488 - Exposure of Data Element to Wrong Session
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to shared parsing state in the JSON plugin when processing concurrent JSON requests. A remote attacker can send crafted requests to disclose sensitive information.
Only applications that populate actions from a JSON request body using the JSON plugin are affected.
2) Exposure of Data Element to Wrong Session (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-73632)
CWE-ID: CWE-488 - Exposure of Data Element to Wrong Session
CVSSv4: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to shared serialization state in the JSON plugin when handling concurrent SMD / JSON-RPC requests through the JSON interceptor. A remote attacker can send concurrent crafted requests to disclose sensitive information.
Only the SMD / JSON-RPC handling of the JSON interceptor is affected, and this functionality is not enabled by default. Applications using the json result type are not affected.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-73634)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in an endpoint collecting Content Security Policy violation reports when handling a submitted violation report. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request with an oversized report body to cause a denial of service.
The core distribution maps no such endpoint by default; only applications that collect violation reports are affected.
4) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-73635)
CWE-ID: CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]
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 localized-text caches when processing requests with attacker-controlled locale values. A remote attacker can send repeated requests using distinct locale values to cause a denial of service.
Only applications that do not configure a fixed locale are affected.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-73633)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in the JSON plugin when handling a JSON request body to populate actions. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request with an excessively large JSON body to cause a denial of service.
Only applications configured to populate actions from a JSON request body are vulnerable.
