Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Http4s is a Scala interface for HTTP services. Prior to 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47, When Ember receives an
 HTTP/2 HEADERS or PUSH_PROMISE frame without END_HEADERS, H2Connection buffers the header block and
 subsequent CONTINUATION fragments without a size bound. A remote peer can keep an incomplete block open
 and exhaust heap memory before request decoding, affecting an ember-server or ember-client configured with
 withHttp2. The remediation tracks accumulated size against SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE derived from
 EmberServerBuilder.maxHeaderSize or EmberClientBuilder.maxResponseHeaderSize, sends GOAWAY when the limit
 is exceeded, and applies receiveHeadersTimeout to incomplete blocks. This issue is fixed in versions
 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47. (CVE-2026-69218)

Solution

Update the org.http4s:http4s-ember-core_2.12 library and its related packages to version 0.23.35 or later.
