CVE-2026-22776

cpp-httplib is a C++11 single-file header-only cross platform HTTP/HTTPS library. Prior to version 0.30.1, a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in cpp-httplib due to the unsafe handling of compressed HTTP request bodies (Content-Encoding: gzip, br, etc.). The library validates the payload_max_length against the compressed data size received from the network, but does not limit the size of the decompressed data stored in memory.

Summary
  • (es) cpp-httplib es una biblioteca C++11 multiplataforma, de un solo archivo y solo de cabecera HTTP/HTTPS. Antes de la versión 0.30.1, existe una vulnerabilidad de denegación de servicio (DoS) en cpp-httplib debido al manejo inseguro de cuerpos de solicitud HTTP comprimidos (Content-Encoding: gzip, br, etc.). La biblioteca valida el payload_max_length contra el tamaño de los datos comprimidos recibidos de la red, pero no limita el tamaño de los datos descomprimidos almacenados en memoria.
