  - Protocol::HTTP2 versions through 1.12 for Perl is vulnerable to a HTTP/2 Bomb. Protocol::HTTP2's inbound
    HPACK path has no header-list size limit, so a small HTTP/2 request can expand into large server memory
    (the HTTP/2 bomb). The headers_decode method materialises a full key+value copy per indexed reference
    with no running size check, and the stream_header_block_add method appends (since version 1.12) every
    CONTINUATION frame to the per-stream buffer unbounded. MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE (default 65536) is advertised
    in SETTINGS but never consulted on decode. It is absent from the decoder and from the :limits export tag.
    (CVE-2026-10725)
