Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

A vulnerability in the /3/ImportFiles endpoint of h2oai/h2o-3 version 3.46.1 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service. The endpoint takes a single GET parameter, path, which can be recursively set to reference itself. This leads the server to repeatedly call its own endpoint, eventually filling up the request queue and leaving the server unable to handle other requests.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-7768

Advisory: H2O Vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) via `/3/ImportFiles` Endpoint
IDs: CVE-2024-7768, GHSA-p2vc-m5fv-9w9m
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-7768 (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:35 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- PyPI h2o: affected <= 3.46.1
- Maven ai.h2o:h2o-core: affected <= 3.46.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `python -m pip show h2o`: prints the installed version. Run with the environment that serves production active.
- Maven ai.h2o:h2o-core: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on h2o, ai.h2o:h2o-core.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
