CVE-2026-90473 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. msgpack-java through 0.9.12 contains an integer overflow vulnerability in MessageUnpacker.skipValue() when processing MAP32 containers with large element counts. Attackers can supply a MAP32 element count at or above 0x40000000 that wraps when doubled, causing the parser cursor to desynchronize and attacker-controlled data to be returned in place of later fields.. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
