BEAM atoms are never garbage-collected and the atom table is bounded (approximately 1,048,576 entries by default). An attacker who can influence the URL of a Tesla request — either via an application-level URL-forwarding feature (webhook, proxy, importer) or via a Location header returned by a server when Tesla.Middleware.FollowRedirects is in the pipeline — can mint one fresh permanent atom per request by varying the scheme string. After enough requests the atom table fills and the VM crashes, taking down the entire application.\n\nThis issue affects tesla: from 1.3.0 before 1.18.3.\n\n## Configuration\n\nThe application must use Tesla.Adapter.Mint and either expose a feature that forwards attacker-controlled URLs to Tesla, or include Tesla.Middleware.FollowRedirects in the middleware pipeline.","id":"EEF-CVE-2026-48597","modified":"2026-06-02T19:12:23.287Z","published":"2026-06-02T19:08:40.203Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/elixir-tesla/tesla/security/advisories/GHSA-h74c-q9j7-mpcm"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://cna.erlef.org/cves/CVE-2026-48597.html"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/elixir-tesla/tesla/commit/4699c3cb3e2fd6078f99f45f11cf7466aeedbf0e"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://hex.pm/packages/tesla"}],"related":[],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","type":"CVSS_V4"}],"summary":"Atom table exhaustion via untrusted URL scheme in Tesla.Adapter.Mint","upstream":[]}
