CVE-2026-44160
Last modified
CVE-2026-44160 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Fluentd collects events from various data sources and writes them to files, RDBMS, NoSQL, IaaS, SaaS, Hadoop and so on. Prior to 1.19.3, Fluentd's in_http and in_forward plugins support gzip-compressed data but enforce limits only on compressed payloads through settings such as body_size_limit and chunk_size_limit, allowing crafted compressed payloads to decompress in memory to an excessive size and cause denial of service through memory exhaustion. EPSS estimates a 0.63% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
