Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
The vulnerability occurs when a client sends HTTP/1.1 pipelined requests over a single connection, causing the Reactor Netty HTTP server to consume an excessive amount of memory. Reactor Netty 1.3.0 - 1.3.6 Reactor Netty 1.1.0 - 1.2.18 Reactor Netty 1.0.52 and earlier
AnalysisAI
HTTP/1.1 request pipelining in Reactor Netty causes unbounded memory growth, exposing Spring WebFlux applications to availability degradation or denial of service from unauthenticated remote clients. Three release trains are affected - 1.0.x through 1.0.52, 1.1.0 through 1.2.18, and 1.3.0 through 1.3.6 - giving this issue broad coverage across current and legacy Spring reactive deployments. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target application runs Reactor Netty within an affected version range (1.0.52 or earlier, 1.1.0-1.2.18, or 1.3.0-1.3.6) and is reachable over the network by the attacker. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 5.3 Medium score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) accurately reflects the real-world risk ceiling: the vulnerability is network-reachable by unauthenticated clients with low attack complexity, but produces only a low availability impact - progressive memory pressure rather than immediate crash in most JVM configurations. … 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 | Consult the VMware/Spring vendor advisory at https://spring.io/security/cve-2026-47874 for patched versions across the affected 1.0.x, 1.1.x/1.2.x, and 1.3.x release trains and upgrade to the latest patched release within the applicable branch. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
