CVE-2026-112336 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 7.1 (high) and affects wazuh; fixed in 4.14.9.

## Summary

Wazuh Manager versions from 3.0.0 up to (but not including) the fixed release contain a memory leak in the generic JSON decoder that can be triggered remotely by an attacker who has enrolled an agent, which requires low privileges and no user action. By sending events with repeated static fields such as id, an attacker can exhaust memory in wazuh-analysisd until the process is killed, disabling alerting.

## Affected

- wazuh: from 3.0.0, fixed in 4.14.9

## Description

Wazuh Manager from 3.0.0 before 4.14.9 contains a memory leak vulnerability in the generic JSON decoder that allows remote attackers to exhaust wazuh-analysisd memory via repeated static fields. Attackers can enroll an agent through passwordless enrollment and send events with duplicate fields such as id, triggering an OOM kill that disables alerting.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on wazuh, upgrade to a fixed version (4.14.9) per the references below.

## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-112336 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.

### What does this mean?

When a JSON event repeats a static field such as id, Wazuh Manager's wazuh-analysisd process can exhaust its memory and be killed. Once it stops, central event decoding, rule evaluation and alert generation are disabled.
