CVE-2026-61541: Zapros has an Unbounded Content-Encoding decompression chain that allows denial of service

September 23, 2026

Who is impacted:

  • Any application using Zapros to make HTTP requests to untrusted servers
  • Applications that follow redirects to attacker-controlled hosts

Attack vector:

  • A malicious HTTP server returns a response with many chained content encodings. When the client attempts to decode, it creates a deeply nested decompression chain consuming excessive resources.
