An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-107833 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/corazawaf/coraza/v3 (Go): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.8.0\n- github.com/corazawaf/coraza/v3 (Go): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.8.0\n- github.com/corazawaf/coraza/v3 (Go): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.8.0\n- github.com/corazawaf/coraza (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- github.com/corazawaf/coraza/v2 (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-107833/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-107833/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-107833","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-107833/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-107833","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3c6w-j9xm-8h2h","GO-2026-6690"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Go WAF library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause CPU exhaustion in OWASP Coraza WAF by sending deeply nested JSON responses, requiring response-body inspection to be enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-674","name":"Uncontrolled Recursion"}],"description":"OWASP Coraza WAF is a golang modsecurity compatible web application firewall library. From 3.0.0 until 3.8.0, ProcessResponse in internal/bodyprocessors/json.go passes the ignoreJSONRecursionLimit value of -1 to readJSON, while the recursive guard only stops at zero. A network attacker who can cause an application protected by Coraza to return deeply nested JSON can make response-body processing perform quadratic work, consuming one CPU core for seconds per response within the default ResponseBodyLimit. Request JSON processing is not affected by this specific path because it uses the configured request recursion limit, and exploitation requires response-body inspection to be enabled.
