CVE-2026-31984: CWE-770 Allocation of resources without limits or throttling in Nozomi Networks Guardian
A denial-of-service vulnerability caused by unbounded resource allocation was discovered in the audit logging functionality, due to a missing size limit on input recorded into audit entries. An unauthenticated attacker can submit requests containing excessively large input that is recorded into audit entries, possibly exhausting the available disk space and rendering the system inoperable.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from the lack of size limits on input data recorded into audit logs in Nozomi Networks Guardian. Because the audit logging functionality does not throttle or limit resource allocation, an attacker can cause a denial-of-service by submitting large inputs that fill disk space. The vulnerability requires no authentication and has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7, indicating high impact. No official remediation or patch information is currently available, and the product is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can cause a denial-of-service condition by exhausting disk space through unbounded audit log entries, potentially rendering the affected system inoperable.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, monitor audit log sizes and consider implementing external controls to limit input sizes if possible.
