CVE-2026-83599

HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Netdata prior to 2.11.0 contains a vulnerability in the unauthenticated WebSocket server that allows an attacker to send small highly compressed frames, leading to large server-side allocations and causing memory exhaustion and termination of monitoring.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can cause memory exhaustion and stop monitoring, potentially disrupting system operations.

Recommendation

Update Netdata to version 2.11.0 or later.

Original NVD description (English source)

Netdata is an open source observability tool. Prior to 2.11.0, Netdata's unauthenticated WebSocket server negotiates permessage-deflate before authentication, and src/web/websocket/websocket-compression.c allows websocket_client_decompress_message() to grow decompressed output toward WS_MAX_DECOMPRESSED_SIZE without enforcing a compressed-to-decompressed ratio. Small highly compressed frames can therefore cause large server-side allocations, and repeated concurrent connections can exhaust memory and terminate monitoring. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.11.0.
