CVE-2026-42788 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade bandit to version 1.11.0 or higher.
Overview
bandit is a HTTP server for Plug and WebSock apps.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling through the Bandit.HTTP2.Frame.deserialize parser in the HTTP/2 frame decoder. An attacker can send an oversized frame and have it parsed as a normal frame instead of being rejected, allowing malformed HTTP/2 traffic to continue through the connection.
This lets a remote peer feed payloads larger than the negotiated maximum frame size into the server’s HTTP/2 processing path, which can disrupt protocol handling and cause the connection to be dropped or misprocessed.
