CVE-2026-69210: HTTP4S

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Http4s is a Scala interface for HTTP services. Prior to 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47, WebSocket FrameTranscoder.bodyLength rejects extended payload lengths above Integer.MAX_VALUE but permits negative 64-bit lengths. A remote client that completes a WebSocket handshake through an Ember server can send such a frame, causing the decoder to return an empty frame without advancing its input. The decode loop then runs indefinitely, pins a worker at full CPU, and grows an ArrayBuffer without bound, resulting in denial of service. This issue is fixed in versions 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47.

Affected products

• HTTP4S HTTP4S: before 0.23.35 (fixed in 0.23.35); from 1.0.0-M1, before 1.0.0-M47 (fixed in 1.0.0-M47)
