CVE-2026-74046

Wazuh 4.4.0 before 4.14.7 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the fdecompress_files() function within cluster.py that allows authenticated cluster peers to exhaust memory by supplying a malicious synchronization archive without decompressed size limits. Attackers holding a valid cluster Fernet key can upload a small, highly compressed zip bomb archive that forces wazuh-clusterd on the master node to decompress the full payload into memory, causing memory exhaustion and service disruption.

Summary
  • (es) Wazuh 4.4.0 antes de 4.14.7 contiene una vulnerabilidad de denegación de servicio en la función fdecompress_files() dentro de cluster.py que permite a los pares de clúster autenticados agotar la memoria al proporcionar un archivo de sincronización malicioso sin límites de tamaño descomprimido. Los atacantes que poseen una clave Fernet de clúster válida pueden cargar un archivo zip bomb pequeño y altamente comprimido que fuerza a wazuh-clusterd en el nodo maestro a descomprimir la carga útil completa en la memoria, causando agotamiento de memoria e interrupción del servicio.
