Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68498)
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 ReaderBasedJsonParser when parsing an oversized JSON object property name from String, Reader, or char[] input. A remote attacker can submit a crafted JSON document containing a sufficiently long property name to cause a denial of service.
Byte-input and non-blocking parsers are not affected.
