ETK-2026-4191Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.description
Micronaut HTTP Server Netty 5.2.x through 5.2.16 can process compressed request bodies without consistently applying body-size limits or read backpressure. An unauthenticated client able to send compressed requests may consume excessive server memory and disrupt service.
mitigation
Reject or strip compressed request bodies at an ingress proxy where possible, and restrict unauthenticated access to affected endpoints. Monitor for an updated Micronaut release and upgrade when a vendor-fixed version is published.
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
source signals
Public signals that triggered or updated the pipeline. These are inputs for the deltas above.
