MEDIUM5.9EPSS 0.49%Undertow: Denial of Service via Multipart/Form-Data Parsing on HTTP GET Requests
Published: 3/24/2026Modified: 5/21/2026
Description
A flaw was found in Undertow. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending an HTTP GET request containing multipart/form-data content. If the underlying application processes parameters using methods like `getParameterMap()`, the server prematurely parses and stores this content to disk. This could lead to resource exhaustion, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
