CVE-2026-84378: HTTPX2: Quadratic SSE line buffering can cause CPU denial of service

September 8, 2026

HTTPX2’s Server-Sent Events (SSE) parser repeatedly copied and rescanned buffered text when a server split one unterminated line across many response chunks. The total work grows quadratically with the length of the line. An attacker-controlled or compromised SSE endpoint can exploit this behavior to consume excessive client CPU.
