Exploitation Conditions

Requires an account with package-install authority - Web UI kura.packages.admin permission, REST kura.permission.rest.deploy, or cloud DEPLOY-V2 access (PR:L) - and the ability to influence the download source: a malicious or compromised HTTP(S) server, or a man-in-the-middle position on a plain-HTTP download. The same unbounded-copy flaw is reachable via the REST endpoint POST /deploy/v2/_upload, which writes the request body to the temporary directory with no size limit. Limiting factors: exploitation is authenticated (not anonymous), depends on the operator fetching from or being pointed at an untrusted/tamperable source, and no user interaction by a victim is needed. Impact is amplified on gateways where the temporary directory is a RAM-backed tmpfs, allowing memory as well as disk exhaustion.

Impact

This is a moderate-priority, availability-only issue rather than a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:H, 7.0 High) is internally consistent with the description: network-reachable, low complexity, but requiring low privileges (PR:L - an account with package-install rights) and an attack requirement (AT:P - the attacker must control, compromise, or MITM the download source). Impact is purely denial of service (VA:H plus SA:H for downstream services/framework); there is no confidentiality or integrity exposure. The decision label is 'this_week', not 'act_now' or 'emergency', which matches the signal picture: no CISA KEV listing, no EPSS score supplied, and no public exploit referenced. The exploitation status is therefore 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis'. The main tension to flag: the vector is AV:N yet exploitation is gated behind an authenticated install permission and control over the fetched content, so real-world risk is bounded by who can install deployment packages and whether downloads use untrusted or plain-HTTP sources. No key data is internally conflicting, but EPSS, KEV, and fixed-version data are simply absent from the input and cannot be confirmed here.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An actor holding Kura's package-install permission (Web UI kura.packages.admin, REST kura.permission.rest.deploy, or cloud DEPLOY-V2) directs the gateway to fetch a deployment package from a malicious or compromised HTTP(S) server - or tampers with a plain-HTTP download in transit. The server streams an arbitrarily large or endless response, which Kura writes to local (often RAM-backed tmpfs) storage until the filesystem or memory is exhausted, crashing framework services. No public exploit code is referenced in the available sources.

AnalysisAIv1 – Nov 10, 2026

Denial of service in Eclipse Kura is a moderate-priority, availability-only issue: an authenticated user who can install deployment packages can exhaust a gateway's disk and, when the temporary directory is RAM-backed tmpfs, its memory by making Kura download an arbitrarily large or endless response from an attacker-controlled or tampered HTTP(S) source, or by sending an unbounded body to POST /deploy/v2/_upload. Exploitation requires package-install authority (Web UI kura.packages.admin, REST kura.permission.rest.deploy, or cloud DEPLOY-V2 access) and influence over the download source; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified in the provided data; check the Eclipse advisory GHSA-r8mm-3wcm-qmx4 for fixed versions and update when available. Until then, restrict installation of deployment packages to trusted HTTPS sources and limit package-install authority through Web UI kura.packages.admin, REST kura.permission.rest.deploy, and cloud DEPLOY-V2 access. These controls reduce exposure to malicious or tampered download sources and limit who can trigger the unbounded copy, but they do not remove the missing size limit for authorized installers, and restricting sources or permissions may block legitimate deployments.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Eclipse Kura is an IoT gateway framework that downloads deployment packages from remote URLs and writes them to local storage. The root cause is CWE-770: the download path does not cap the size of the HTTP(S) response, so a malicious or compromised server, or an attacker tampering with a plain-HTTP transfer, can stream an arbitrarily large or endless body until the filesystem fills; on gateways where the temporary directory is RAM-backed tmpfs this also consumes memory. The same unbounded copy exists in the REST upload endpoint POST /deploy/v2/_upload. The CVSS vector confirms network reachability, low privileges (PR:L), no user interaction, and high availability impact, with scope changed in the independent assessment; the CPE is a wildcard for Eclipse Kura, so exact affected versions are not stated in the supplied data.

DescriptionCVE.org

Eclipse Kura downloads deployment packages (DPs) from a remote URL without any limit on the size of the data it receives. A malicious or compromised HTTP(S) server, or an attacker able to tamper with a plain-HTTP download, can stream an arbitrarily large (or endless) response. Kura writes the response to local storage until the filesystem is full. On gateways the temporary directory is often a RAM-backed tmpfs, so this can also exhaust memory. The result is denial of service of the device: failed configuration persistence, failed logging and possible crashes of the framework or other services.

The same missing size limit is present in the REST upload endpoint POST /deploy/v2/_upload, which copies the request body to the temporary directory with no limit.

Workarounds: only install DPs from trusted HTTPS sources, restrict who can install packages (Web UI kura.packages.admin permission, REST kura.permission.rest.deploy, cloud DEPLOY-V2 access).

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-114359 is a high-severity denial-of-service vulnerability in Eclipse Kura gateways that allows an authenticated user with deployment privileges to exhaust disk and memory resources by directing the device to download oversized or endless HTTP responses. This can render gateways inoperable, disrupting IoT operations and requiring manual recovery. Leadership should care because affected gateways may go offline, impacting service availability and requiring costly remediation.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting package-install privileges to trusted users, blocking outbound HTTP(S) traffic to untrusted sources via network egress controls, monitoring gateway resource usage, and disabling or limiting the /deploy/v2/_upload endpoint if feasible.
