CVE-2026-3260: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in Red Hat Red Hat build of Apache Camel for Spring Boot 4
A flaw was found in Undertow. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending an HTTP GET request containing multipart/form-data content. If the underlying application processes parameters using methods like `getParameterMap()`, the server prematurely parses and stores this content to disk. This could lead to resource exhaustion, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves the Undertow web server component used in Red Hat's build of Apache Camel for Spring Boot 4. When a remote attacker sends an HTTP GET request with multipart/form-data content, and the application processes parameters via methods such as getParameterMap(), the server prematurely parses and stores the multipart content to disk. This uncontrolled allocation of resources can cause resource exhaustion, leading to Denial of Service. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.9 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and impact limited to availability.
Potential Impact
The primary impact is availability degradation due to resource exhaustion on the affected server, potentially causing Denial of Service. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not confirmed from the provided information. Users should consult the official Red Hat advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-3260 for current remediation guidance and apply any available updates or workarounds recommended by Red Hat. Until a fix is applied, consider limiting exposure to untrusted HTTP GET requests with multipart/form-data content or implementing application-level request size limits if feasible.
