Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-118773)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to degrade service availability through filesystem I/O and CPU consumption after glob traversal is canceled.

The vulnerability exists due to cancellation handling in glob's directory walker failing to stop traversal when applications expose attacker-influenced patterns or directory trees and rely on AbortSignal to limit traversal costs. An unauthenticated remote attacker can submit repeated requests that time out but leave background walks running, reducing worker throughput.
