CVE-2026-95845: Moquette unbounded message queue denial of service

CVE-2026-95845 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-09-23

Moquette is a lightweight MQTT message broker used to route messages between publishing and subscribing clients. When a fast publisher sends messages to a slow subscriber, messages accumulate without limit in the broker's memory or storage, allowing an attacker to exhaust system resources and crash the broker. This vulnerability affects all versions before 0.18.1.

Technologies: Moquette, Moquette-Io Moquette. Vendors: Moquette, Moquette-Io.

Technical details

The broker fails to enforce a maximum length on per-session message queues when a subscriber's in-flight window is full. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send rapid messages to a topic while a slow subscriber remains connected with a full in-flight window, causing unbounded queue accumulation in both memory and persistent storage. The fix introduces a configurable maximum queue depth enforced at the session level.
