Service interruption via unbounded BigInteger coercion
Published Aug 31, 2026 · Updated Aug 31, 2026
Improper numeric coercion in Red Hat build of Quarkus allows remote attackers to interrupt exposed GraphQL services. BigInteger scalar coercion accepts float or string inputs without bounding their magnitude, allocating enormous integers from large exponents. Processing occurs before authorization; a crafted inline float literal can exhaust CPU or JVM memory, causing a hang or crash.
