CVE-2026-112186Eclipse Kura uncontrolled recursion
CVE-2026-112186 is a uncontrolled recursion in Eclipse Kura, rated high (8.7 on CVSS 4.0).
Why this priority: High severity, with no exploitation signal yet.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
Deeply nested input drives recursion until the process crashes. Resources are allocated without a cap, so a caller can exhaust them.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can take it offline. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker exhaust CPU, memory or connections until the service stops answering. The damage can spread past the vulnerable component into others.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- No fixed version is listed yet. Find every place Eclipse Kura runs, watch the references for a fix, and plan a replacement if it is no longer supported.
- While there is no fix, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
Description from NVD
In Eclipse Kura versions 5.4.0 through 5.6.2, the Service Listing V1 REST API read the JSON body of every request into memory, with no limit on its size. The endpoints parse the body before they check whether the caller is authenticated. A remote attacker without valid credentials can therefore send a few dozen large JSON requests at the same time, exhaust the Java heap with an `OutOfMemoryError`, and cause a denial of service. Likewise, a remote attacker, can send a deeply nested JSON request and trigger a `StackOverflowError` because of an unbound recursion in Service Listing V1.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Public entry points and shared services that must stay up. The flaw sits between untrusted traffic and shared capacity.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
- Isolation between components. The impact crosses out of the vulnerable component into others it should be isolated from.
- Between untrusted traffic and shared capacity. An attacker who crosses it can exhaust CPU, memory or connections until the service stops answering.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Eclipse Kura run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
