CVE-2026-118271: a2ui data-context Resolver resource exhaustion

CVE-2026-118271 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-10-28

a2ui is a web UI framework that processes function calls with reactive data binding. An attacker can send function calls with thousands of junk arguments, causing the data-context resolver to consume excessive memory and slow down the application, potentially causing denial of service.

Technologies: A2ui-Project A2ui. Vendors: A2ui-Project.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the DataContext resolver component (renderers/web_core/src/v0_9/rendering/data-context.ts), where function argument validation occurs after memory listeners are created for all supplied arguments. An attacker can send crafted messages with hundreds or thousands of unused arguments, forcing the resolver to allocate listeners for each junk key before discarding them. The fix strips unused arguments before listener creation and enforces a 255-argument maximum per function call.
