7.5 HIGH

No authentication required beyond WebSocket handshake; 2 GiB allocation attempt realistically crashes the JVM process, warranting A:H over A:L.

DescriptionCVE.org

A weakness has been identified in TooTallNate Java-WebSocket up to 1.6.1. The impacted element is the function processFrameContinuousAndNonFin of the file Draft_6455.java of the component Fragmentation Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to allocation of resources. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The pull request to fix this issue awaits acceptance.

AnalysisAI

Unconstrained memory allocation in TooTallNate Java-WebSocket 1.6.0-1.6.1 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to exhaust server heap memory by sending WebSocket frames with arbitrarily large declared payload lengths. The Draft_6455 fragmentation handler initialized maxFrameSize to Integer.MAX_VALUE (~2 GiB), so the library attempts to allocate the full declared frame size before any payload data is actually received. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The target must be running Java-WebSocket 1.6.0 or 1.6.1 with the default Draft_6455 constructor (no explicit maxFrameSize argument), which sets the limit to Integer.MAX_VALUE. … 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) correctly reflects a fully remote, unauthenticated, zero-complexity attack path - any client that can complete a WebSocket upgrade handshake can trigger the flaw. … 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 The upstream fix is available in PR #1509 (https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket/pull/1509) but has not been merged or released in a tagged version as of this analysis - monitor the repository for a patched release and upgrade as soon as one ships. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
