CVE-2026-68080 is a medium severity vulnerability in Apache Qpid Broker-J affecting versions up to and including 10.0.1. The issue involves insufficient control over the rate at which the broker responds to echo flow messages, allowing an authenticated attacker to cause excessive resource consumption and potential denial of service. The vulnerability is fixed in version 10.1.0.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Apache Qpid Broker-J versions up to 10.0.1 do not properly limit the rate of responses to echo flow messages. This lack of rate governance can be exploited by an authenticated attacker to induce excessive resource usage on the broker, potentially leading to denial of service conditions. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-406 (Insufficient Control of Network Message Volume). Upgrading to version 10.1.0 addresses this issue.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause excessive resource consumption on the Apache Qpid Broker-J server, potentially resulting in denial of service. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity according to the CVSS vector. The attack requires authentication and network access.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade Apache Qpid Broker-J to version 10.1.0 or later, which fixes this vulnerability. No other official remediation or temporary fixes are indicated. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor recommendation to upgrade.
