Micronaut Core DoS via form-urlencoded array index (4.10.15/3.10.4)
CVE-2026-33013 Published on March 20, 2026

Micronaut vulnerable to DoS via crafted form-urlencoded body binding with descending array indices
Micronaut Framework is a JVM-based full stack Java framework designed for building modular, easily testable JVM applications. Versions prior to both 4.10.16 and 3.10.5 do not correctly handle descending array index order during form-urlencoded body binding in theJsonBeanPropertyBinder::expandArrayToThreshold, which allows remote attackers to cause a DoS (non-terminating loop, CPU exhaustion, and OutOfMemoryError) via crafted indexed form parameters (e.g., authors[1].name followed by authors[0].name). This issue has been fixed in versions 4.10.16 and 3.10.5.
