GHSA-43w5-mmxv-cpvh: Micronaut vulnerable to DoS via crafted form-urlencoded body binding with descending array indices

March 17, 2026

In JsonBeanPropertyBinder::expandArrayToThreshold in io.micronaut:micronaut-json-core before Micronaut 4 4.10.16 and in Micronaut 3 before 3.10.5 does not correctly handle descending array index order during form-urlencoded body binding, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (non-terminating loop, CPU exhaustion, and OutOfMemoryError) via crafted indexed form parameters (e.g., authors[1].name followed by authors[0].name).
