CVE-2026-108529: mtrudel bandit HTTP/2 algorithmic complexity denial of service

CVE-2026-108529 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-26

Bandit is an HTTP/2 web server library written in Elixir. An unauthenticated attacker can send cheap network frames that force the server to perform expensive list operations for every blocked stream, causing CPU exhaustion and denial of service. An attacker exploiting this can make the server unresponsive by sending a single 9-byte frame that takes 133 milliseconds to process on a moderately loaded server.

How to fix

Fixed in: bandit 1.14.0

Technical details

The HTTP/2 implementation in do_pending_sends/2 uses List.delete/2 to remove queued sends before each retry, resulting in O(n²) complexity for n blocked streams. An attacker can create thousands of streams blocked on the connection send window, then send cheap SETTINGS or WINDOW_UPDATE frames that cause the server to walk the entire queue. The issue exists because max_concurrent_streams defaults to infinity, allowing an attacker to choose the number of blocked streams.
