Twisted: Unauthenticated Remote Denial of Service in the Twisted words domish XML Element Stream via an Unbounded Element Tree
CVE-2026-115775 is fixed in 3 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-115775, released November 3, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
A flaw was found in Twisted. An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by exhausting server memory. The issue occurs because the XML stream parser retains unfinished elements in memory without enforcing size or element count limits. By transmitting a continuous stream of child elements within an unclosed container during pre-authentication communication, an attacker can crash the server process.
