CVE-2026-0049: In onHeaderDecoded of LocalImageResolver.java, there is a possible persistent denial of service due to resource exhaustion.

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)

Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.10% (FIRST EPSS).
Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Root cause

Code that parses nested structures sets no depth or size limit. A small input can turn into a disproportionate processing load.
