Executive Summary

CVE-2026-40984 is a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability in Micrometer HTTP server instrumentations. It allows an attacker to send specially crafted HTTP requests that can cause a DoS condition in applications using vulnerable versions of Micrometer.

This vulnerability affects applications using io.micrometer:micrometer-core, micrometer-jetty11, or micrometer-jetty12 with HTTP server instrumentations configured to record metrics.

Affected versions include multiple releases of micrometer-core from 1.9.0 through 1.16.5 and corresponding versions of micrometer-jetty11 and micrometer-jetty12.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can impact you by causing a denial-of-service (DoS) condition in your application. An attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted HTTP requests that disrupt the normal operation of your application.

The DoS condition can lead to application unavailability or degraded performance, potentially affecting users and services relying on the affected application.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate the CVE-2026-40984 vulnerability, users should upgrade to the fixed versions of Micrometer.

  • Upgrade micrometer-core to 1.16.6 if using 1.16.x versions.
  • Upgrade micrometer-core to 1.15.12 if using 1.15.x versions.
  • Upgrade micrometer-core to 1.14.16 if using 1.14.x versions.
  • Upgrade micrometer-core to 1.13.19 if using 1.13.x versions.
  • Upgrade micrometer-core to 1.9.18 if using 1.9.x versions.

Versions 1.14.x and earlier require Enterprise Support for the fix. No additional mitigation steps are necessary beyond upgrading.
