CVE-2026-89059
HIGH 7.5 PoC AVAILABLEA flaw was found in RESTEasy's IIOImageProvider, which decodes attacker-supplied image request bodies without enforcing any limit on the declared image dimensions or pixel count. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a small crafted image declaring enormous dimensions to trigger a very large memory allocation, exhausting the JVM heap and resulting in a denial of service.
Public exploit or PoC code exists. Modeled probability is still low, but the barrier to attack is reduced — watch closely.
