CVE-2026-49866 libp2p: CPU DoS via oversized IHAVE and IWANT control message arrays

libp2p is a JavaScript Implementation of libp2p networking stack. Prior to 16.0.0, @libp2p/gossipsub defaultDecodeRpcLimits set maxIhaveMessageIDs and maxIwantMessageIDs to Infinity, allowing oversized IHAVE and IWANT control message arrays in message/decodeRpc.ts and gossipsub.ts to synchronousl...

CVE-2026-49866

CVE-2026-49866 affects the JavaScript libp2p implementation, specifically the @libp2p/gossipsub component. The root cause is defaultDecodeRpcLimits allowing maxIhaveMessageIDs and maxIwantMessageIDs to be Infinity prior to v16.0.0, enabling oversized IHAVE/IWANT control message arrays in message/...
