An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-63074 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Openssl Openssl. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\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-2026-63074/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63074/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-63074","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63074/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-63074","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2026-63074","AZL-97881","AZL-97944","BELL-CVE-2026-63074","CLEANSTART-2026-BP03068","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-63074","ECHO-8298-2fc4-74d4","GHSA-2q27-mpm9-44m4","MINI-33pj-h8vc-qj7p","MINI-fhrr-mmfj-2cmj","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-63074"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"OpenSSL CMP library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious client can cause unbounded memory growth in OpenSSL CMP servers by flooding them with rejected messages containing unique extra certificates.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"openssl","cpe":[{"product":"openssl","vendor":"openssl"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","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-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"Issue summary: The OpenSSL Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) caches\nadditional certificates (extraCerts) sent in a CMP message, but never expunges\nthem (for instance if they are invalid).
