The vulnerability allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to cause an Out of Memory Error (OOM) and JVM crash by streaming a continuous sequence of small or empty WebSocket continuation frames with the FIN bit set to 0. This bypasses typical payload size checks because of the JVM's per-object allocation overhead, leading to rapid heap exhaustion with minimal network bandwidth.\n\n## TL;DR\nUnbounded WebSocket message aggregation in http4s-blaze-server allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the server with an OutOfMemoryError via a stream of tiny continuation fragments.\n\n## Technical Details\n\n- **CWE ID**: CWE-400\n- **Attack Vector**: Network\n- **CVSS**: 7.5\n- **Impact**: Denial of Service (DoS)\n- **Exploit Status**: None (PoC verified theoretically)\n- **KEV Status**: Not Listed\n\n## Affected Systems\n\n- http4s-blaze-server\n- **http4s-blaze-server**: < 0.23.18 (Fixed in: `0.23.18`)\n- **http4s-blaze-server**: < 1.0.0-M42 (Fixed in: `1.0.0-M42`)\n\n## Mitigation\n\n- Upgrade http4s-blaze-server dependencies to a patched version.\n- Configure maximum WebSocket buffer sizes to positive values to enforce limits and virtual frame overhead charges.\n\n**Remediation Steps:**\n1. Identify any instances of 'org.http4s:blaze-server' in your build.sbt, pom.xml, or build.gradle files.\n2. Update dependency declarations to version 0.23.18 or 1.0.0-M42.\n3. Verify that the BlazeServerBuilder is not configured with withMaxWebSocketBufferSize(0) or negative values, which would disable the validation checks.\n\n## References\n\n- [GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-7PPR-R889-MCF2](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-7PPR-R889-MCF2)\n\n\n---\n*Generated by [CVEReports](https://cvereports.com/reports/GHSA-7PPR-R889-MCF2) - Automated Vulnerability Intelligence*", "creation_timestamp": "2026-07-25T18:31:07.881513Z"} 2026-07-25T18:31:07.881513+00:00
