Vert.x Web static handler component cache can be manipulated to deny the access to static files

CVE-2026-1002 / GHSA-cphf-4846-3xx9

More information

Details

The Vert.x Web static handler component cache can be manipulated to deny the access to static files served by the handler using specifically crafted request URI.

The issue comes from an improper implementation of the C. rule of section 5.2.4 of RFC3986 and is fixed in Vert.x Core component (used by Vert.x Web): https://github.com/eclipse-vertx/vert.x/pull/5895

Steps to reproduce
Given a file served by the static handler, craft an URI that introduces a string like bar%2F..%2F after the last / char to deny the access to the URI with an HTTP 404 response. For example https://example.com/foo/index.html can be denied with https://example.com/foo/bar%2F..%2Findex.html

Mitgation
Disabling Static Handler cache fixes the issue.

StaticHandler staticHandler = StaticHandler.create().setCachingEnabled(false);

Severity

Vert.x has a DoS via unbounded server-side SNI SslContext cache growth

CVE-2026-6860 / GHSA-3g76-f9xq-8vp6

More information

Details

Potential unbounded server-side SNI SslContext cache growth in Vert.x TLS handling, with = resource-exhaustion / DoS impact. On affected versions, matching server-side SNI names are cached via computeIfAbsent(serverName, ...) in a serverName-keyed SslContext cache.

The implementation differs slightly by branch, but the same sink appears to be present in released versions 4.3.4 through 5.0.11:

  • 4.3.x: SSLHelper
  • 4.4.x / 4.5.x: SslChannelProvider
  • 5.0.x and current master: SslContextProvider

When server-side SNI is enabled and wildcard or otherwise broad hostname mappings are used, an unauthenticated client can send many distinct matching SNI names and cause the server to retain increasing numbers of SslContext entries over time, leading to increasing memory consumption and possible DoS conditions.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Configure a Vert.x server with setSsl(true) and setSni(true).
  2. Use a keystore or mapping where many distinct SNI names match a wildcard or similarly broad rule.
  3. Send repeated connections with distinct matching SNI values.
  4. Observe that the SNI cache size grows with the number of unique matching names.
What are the affected versions?

Affected released versions confirmed on origin:

  • 4.3.4 through 4.3.8
  • 4.4.0 through 4.4.9
  • 4.5.0 through 4.5.26
  • 5.0.0 through 5.0.11

Not affected by the same sink:

  • 4.0.x through 4.2.x
  • 4.3.0 through 4.3.3

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 6.9 / 10 (Medium)
