CVE-2026-14685: State Issue in HdrHistogram
A vulnerability has been found in HdrHistogram up to 2.2.2. This vulnerability affects the function recordValueWithCount of the file src/main/java/org/HdrHistogram/AbstractHistogram.java of the component AbstractHistogram. Such manipulation of the argument Count leads to state issue. The attack can only be performed from a local environment. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The existence of this vulnerability is still disputed at present. This issue is disputed due to the potential lack of crossing of security boundaries and the pre-requisites for a successful attack.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects the recordValueWithCount function in the AbstractHistogram.java file of HdrHistogram up to version 2.2.2. Manipulating the count argument can lead to a state issue within the component AbstractHistogram. The attack vector is local, requiring the attacker to have local access to the environment. The vulnerability's existence is disputed, as it may not cross security boundaries or meet conditions for a successful attack. No official remediation or patch has been published, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability may cause inconsistent or corrupted internal state in the AbstractHistogram component when the count argument is manipulated. Since exploitation requires local access and no privilege escalation or remote attack vector is confirmed, the impact is limited. The CVSS score of 4.8 reflects a medium severity with low attack complexity and local attack vector. No known exploits have been observed in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available. Since the vulnerability requires local access and its existence is disputed, no urgent action is mandated. Users should monitor vendor advisories for updates or official fixes. Applying the principle of least privilege to limit local access may reduce risk.
