CVE-2026-111497

CVE-2026-111497 is a memory-corruption flaw in the shared Brotli decoder. Any service that decompresses attacker-controlled Brotli, in a request or an HTTP response, can be exposed.

Risk

The decoder is used beyond Node.js, including in server-side fetches. The October 25 review did not confirm active exploitation.

Recommended action

Update or remove vulnerable Brotli decoders using each vendor's guidance, including copies bundled with runtimes or container images.
