AI Summary

CVE-2026-111497 is a critical out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Google Brotli C library, affecting multiple runtimes including Node.js, Python, Bun, .NET, Java brotli4j, Envoy, and Istio. The flaw allows memory corruption during Brotli decompression, enabling attackers to achieve denial of service, heap memory reads, and potentially remote code execution. Exploitation has been confirmed in the wild, with CISA listing it in its known exploited vulnerabilities catalog. The vulnerability stems from a boolean return value ambiguity in DecodeBlockTypeAndLength(), leading to unbounded memory writes and exploitable state corruption.
