CVE-2026-69203

HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Http4s, an Ember server with HTTP/2 enabled does not enforce SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS for peer-created streams. A single unauthenticated connection can open an unbounded number of streams, each retaining per-stream state until heap exhaustion. The same unchecked allocation is reachable in ember-client via server-initiated PUSH_PROMISE frames because enablePush is not enforced. Fixed in versions 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47.

Risk Assessment

An unauthenticated attacker can cause heap exhaustion and denial of service on an Ember server or client with HTTP/2 enabled. In production this allows easy remote service disruption.

Recommendation

Upgrade Http4s to version 0.23.35 or 1.0.0-M47 (or later). Until patched, consider disabling HTTP/2 on the Ember server and client.
