CVE-2026-66062: SvelteKit: ReDoS (O(n^2)) in content negotiation — unauthenticated DoS via the Accept header

August 7, 2026

SvelteKit is vulnerable to remote CPU-exhaustion DoS attacks via specifically-crafted Accept headers. The impact is mitigated by default header length limits on most platforms, but in the case of raised or absent limits a denial of service is possible.
