CVE-2026-110803: Vaadin Framework 8 session lock denial of service

CVE-2026-110803 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-21

Vaadin Framework 8 is a Java web application framework. An attacker can supply a malformed request parameter that causes the framework to lock a user session and fail to release it, blocking all subsequent requests from that user and exhausting the application's thread pool. Any attacker without authentication can repeat this attack by obtaining a session cookie from a single initial request, eventually taking the entire application offline.

Vendors: Vaadin.

Technical details

VaadinService.requestEnd() holds a session lock while reading the v-uiId request parameter; if the parameter is non-numeric, Integer.parseInt throws an exception within the locked section, preventing the lock from being released in a finally block. Subsequent requests to the same session block indefinitely waiting to acquire the lock, and repeated attacks exhaust the container's thread pool. The attack requires only network access and a valid session cookie; no user interaction or elevated privileges are needed.

Affected products
