When applied to a compressed message, this only applies to the compressed size and not the actual size of the uncompressed content. This can be used to force a gRPC endpoint to allocate more bytes than the value defined by the configuration, making the endpoint vulnerable to compression bomb attacks.\n\n\n\nThe impacted component is io.vertx:vertx-gprc-server.","published":"2026-10-15T09:17:16.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-20T19:27:10.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"emo@eclipse.org","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":8.7,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-409"],"affected":["eclipse/vert.x"],"epss":{"score":0.00318,"percentile":0.24557,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-15","score":0.00324,"percentile":0.23798}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.32%).
