A stream WINDOW_UPDATE, or the zero-delta window update that every empty SETTINGS frame delivers to all streams, ends the wait without delivering any body data, and the loop starts a new full countdown. A client that sends one of these 9-byte frames before each countdown expires keeps read_body blocked, together with the stream process and whatever the application holds while reading, for as long as it likes.\n\nThis issue affects bandit: from 1.4.0 before 1.14.0.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-26T13:30:24.621+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-26T15:35:52.079+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"https://repo.hex.pm","name":"bandit","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"collectionURL\": \"https://repo.hex.pm\",\n                    \"cpes\": [\n                        \"cpe:2.3:a:mtrudel:bandit:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\"\n                    ],\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"packageName\": \"bandit\",\n                    \"packageURL\": \"pkg:hex/bandit\",\n                    \"product\": \"bandit\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://github.com/mtrudel/bandit\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"mtrudel\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"lessThan\": \"1.14.0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"1.4.0\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"https://github.com","name":"mtrudel/bandit","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"collectionURL\": \"https://github.com\",\n                    \"cpes\": [\n                        \"cpe:2.3:a:mtrudel:bandit:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\"\n                    ],\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"packageName\": \"mtrudel/bandit\",\n                    \"packageURL\": \"pkg:github/mtrudel/bandit\",\n                    \"product\": \"bandit\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://github.com/mtrudel/bandit\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"mtrudel\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"lessThan\": \"220b9dfd27f9a21305be2afc75cbe585ddc24e7a\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"fff06efe3be962b484bd4d3eb339372fda5a231f\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":8.7,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/mtrudel/bandit/security/advisories/GHSA-p2qv-vx88-385x","https://cna.erlef.org/cves/CVE-2026-115269.html","https://osv.dev/vulnerability/EEF-CVE-2026-115269","https://github.com/mtrudel/bandit/commit/fff06efe3be962b484bd4d3eb339372fda5a231f","https://github.com/mtrudel/bandit/commit/220b9dfd27f9a21305be2afc75cbe585ddc24e7a"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-115269","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-115269","identifiers":["CVE-2026-115269"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
