CVE-2026-68075: Apache Qpid Broker-J: Incoming session flow control window can be exceeded
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.65% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 50.7% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache Qpid Broker-J 10.1.0.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Apache Software Foundation Apache Qpid Broker-J 10.1.0 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
An authenticated attacker could exceed the session flow control incoming window potentially leading to denial of service. This issue affects Apache Qpid Broker-J: through 10.0.1. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 10.1.0, which fixes the issue.
