Service interruption via unbounded archive decompression
Published Aug 27, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026
Unbounded decompression in Spring Integration allows remote authenticated users to interrupt service by submitting a crafted ZIP archive. The UnZipTransformer expands archive entries without enforcing a per-entry size limit or maximum entry count, allowing compressed input to exhaust the JVM heap. Exploitation requires an application to route attacker-controlled ZIP content through the transformer, and successful exhaustion leaves the hosting application unavailable.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=6.4.0 <=6.4.12
- Affected versionversion=6.5.0 <=6.5.10
- Affected versionversion=7.0.0 <=7.0.5
- Affected versionversion=7.1.0
