  - Allocation of resources without limits or throttling (CWE-770) during Java object deserialization in
    Google Guava versions 4.0 through 33.7.1 allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service via
    OutOfMemoryError. When deserializing CompactHashMap, CompactHashSet, or MapMakerInternalMap instances,
    Guava eagerly allocates an array based on a caller-specified size parameter without throttling, permitting
    memory exhaustion from crafted serialization streams. (CVE-2026-102554)
