How to fix?

There is no fixed version for org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-sleuth-instrumentation.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via the Spring TX (transaction) instrumentation classes in this package. A remote user can issue calls that drive the transaction instrumentation to allocate resources without limits or throttling, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.

Note:

Spring Cloud Sleuth is end-of-life and has been superseded by Micrometer Tracing; the open source repository was archived on May 28, 2026, and no public fix commit exists. The fixed version 3.1.14 is available under Spring Enterprise Support only and is not published to Maven Central, where open source releases end at 3.1.11.

Workaround

This can be mitigated by disabling Spring TX instrumentation, for example by setting spring.sleuth.tx.enabled=false.
