CVE-2026-115448
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-4ppq-6vhc-4q97 ↗EUVD-2026-116869 ↗
description
Apache ZooKeeper 3.8.0–3.8.7 and 3.9.0–3.9.6 can exhaust the JVM stack while processing snapshots of excessively nested znode structures. An attacker who can create znodes may disrupt a server and potentially affect other members of the ensemble, particularly where the default open root ACL remains in use.
mitigation
Upgrade to Apache ZooKeeper 3.8.8 or 3.9.7. Restrict znode creation with authentication and ACLs, rather than permitting creation through the default open root ACL.
outcome
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
source signals
Public signals that triggered or updated the pipeline. These are inputs for the deltas above.
