From 26.7.1 until 26.10.1, PerMessageBrotli.decompress_message_data in compress_brotli.py calls the Brotli decompressor without an output limit and checks maxMessagePayloadSize only after a complete frame has been inflated. An unauthenticated WebSocket client can send a small, highly compressed frame that allocates hundreds of MiB before rejection, causing memory-exhaustion denial of service on servers that enable the opt-in permessage-brotli feature through the compress extra. Deflate and bzip2 already enforce the remaining output budget and are outside this residual vulnerability. This issue is fixed in version 26.10.1.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-26T20:29:22.906+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-27T14:18:18.772+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"autobahn-python","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"crossbario\",\n                    \"product\": \"autobahn-python\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \">= 26.7.1, < 26.10.1\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.9,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/crossbario/autobahn-python/security/advisories/GHSA-pjh6-c8mg-3x7m","https://github.com/crossbario/autobahn-python/pull/1987","https://github.com/crossbario/autobahn-python/commit/a41442bbee4f6126a8ce1bb892840124c24d16f1","https://github.com/crossbario/autobahn-python/releases/tag/v26_10_1"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-116579","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-116579","identifiers":["CVE-2026-116579"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
