DescriptionCVE.org

Improper handling of highly compressed data in Amazon ion-java before 1.12.1 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted compressed Ion document that expands to an arbitrarily large size upon decompression due to insufficient coverage of the GZIP auto-decompression opt-out introduced for CVE-2026-75936.

To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 1.12.1.

AnalysisAI

Decompression bomb handling in Amazon ion-java before version 1.12.1 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to cause denial of service by submitting crafted GZIP-compressed Ion documents that expand to arbitrarily large sizes during automatic decompression. The vulnerability is a bypass of the incomplete fix for CVE-2026-75936, which introduced a GZIP auto-decompression opt-out that did not cover all decompression paths in the library. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target application accepts and parses GZIP-compressed Ion binary documents using ion-java versions prior to 1.12.1, and that the attacker can deliver arbitrary compressed Ion content to that parsing code path - for example, via an HTTP API, message queue, file upload endpoint, or S3-triggered processor that reads Ion-formatted data from external sources. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H) scoring 8.7 accurately characterizes the threat model: network-accessible, unauthenticated, low complexity, and pure availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: version 1.12.1. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all systems running ion-java prior to version 1.12.1 and assess their exposure to untrusted Ion data sources. …
