ETK-2026-3723Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
actix-http versions before 3.20.3 may allocate excessive memory while decoding Brotli-compressed request bodies. An unauthenticated client can exhaust server memory and disrupt service if the application accepts Brotli-encoded request content.
mitigation
Upgrade actix-http to >= 3.20.3 or later.
fixed in >= 3.20.3
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
