CVE-2026-61374: Apache Thrift Java bindings resource exhaustion

CVE-2026-61374 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-02

Apache Thrift is a framework for building cross-platform services. A resource exhaustion vulnerability in its Java bindings allows an attacker to consume excessive memory or CPU without limits, potentially causing service availability issues. An exploit could lead to denial of service against applications using the affected library.

Technologies: Apache Thrift. Vendors: Apache.

Technical details

An allocation of resources without limits or throttling vulnerability exists in Apache Thrift's Java bindings before version 0.25.0. The vulnerability allows an attacker to exhaust system resources (memory or CPU) by making requests that trigger unbounded resource consumption, without proper rate limiting or resource caps. Exploitation requires network access to a service using the affected library.
