undici's decompress interceptor decompresses response bodies according to the untrusted Content-Encoding header. While the number of content-encoding layers is capped, the total decompressed output size is unbounded and there is no configuration option to limit it. A malicious or faulty upstream can therefore return a small compressed payload, a compression bomb, that expands to hundreds of megabytes or more in client memory, an asymmetric resource consumption that can exhaust memory and crash the process. This affects undici versions from 7.15.0 up to 7.29.1 and from 8.0.0 up to 8.10.2. Users should upgrade to undici 7.29.1 or 8.10.2.

CVE-2026-18149Medium· 5.9undici's retry handler can leave an already-exposed response body pending forever
CVE-2026-84947Low· 3.7undici's dump interceptor reads and discards a response body up to a configurable maximum size
CVE-2026-85152High· 7.4undici 8.10.0 omits the destination origin from the cache and request-deduplication keys when the cache or deduplicate interceptor is composed directly onto a Client or Pool
CVE-2026-84961High· 7.4undici's BalancedPool constructor passes its entire options object through an internal deep-clone that serializes and reparses the value as JSON
CVE-2026-84933Medium· 6.5undici's cache interceptor does not handle the Set-Cookie response header anywhere in its cache path, so it neither refuses to store nor strips that header
CVE-2026-85008Low· 3.7undici's cache interceptor documents that only safe HTTP methods are cached, but its logic to skip caching is built by subtracting the configured methods from the set of safe methods, so an unsafe method such as POST, PUT, or DELETE is n…
