| CVE-2026-42154 | Hig | 0.42 | 7.5 | 0.00 | May 4, 2026 | Prometheus is an open-source monitoring system and time series database. Prior to versions 3.5.3 and 3.11.3, the remote read endpoint (/api/v1/read) does not validate the declared decoded length in a snappy-compressed request body before allocating memory. An unauthenticated attacker can send a small payload that causes a huge heap allocation per request. Under concurrent load this can exhaust available memory and crash the Prometheus process. This issue has been patched in versions 3.5.3 and 3.11.3. | ||
| CVE-2002-1211 | 0.04 | — | 0.07 | Nov 12, 2002 | Prometheus 6.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a modified PROMETHEUS_LIBRARY_BASE that points to code stored on a remote server, which is then used in (1) index.php, (2) install.php, or (3) various test_*.php scripts. |
