CVE-2026-47184
Last modified
CVE-2026-47184 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Zeroconf is a pure Python implementation of multicast DNS service discovery. Prior to 0.149.7, DNSCache._async_add inserted every response record into cache, _expirations, _expire_heap, and service_cache without a cap, allowing unauthenticated hosts on the local link over UDP/5353 (224.0.0.251 / ff02::fb) to multicast valid mDNS responses with unique names and cause memory exhaustion, slower cache lookups, slower async_expire passes, and broken discovery, registration, and ServiceBrowser callbacks. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
