The neighbouring Mint.HTTP2.assert_valid_promised_stream_id/2 only verifies that the promised ID is even and not already present; client_settings.max_concurrent_streams is not consulted at promise time. The concurrency cap is only checked when the response HEADERS for the promised stream arrive, so a server that emits PUSH_PROMISE frames and withholds the matching HEADERS never trips that check.\n\nHTTP/2 server push is accepted by default (client_settings.enable_push defaults to true). A single long-lived HTTP/2 connection to a hostile server lets that server pin one conn.streams entry per PUSH_PROMISE frame it sends, with no upper bound, until the client process runs out of memory.\n\nThis issue affects mint: from 0.2.0 before 1.9.0.\n\n## Workaround\n\nDisable HTTP/2 server push on connections to untrusted servers by passing client_settings: [enable_push: false] to Mint.HTTP.connect/4. This makes Mint reject any inbound PUSH_PROMISE frame with a PROTOCOL_ERROR before the vulnerable code path is reached.","id":"EEF-CVE-2026-48862","modified":"2026-06-02T14:15:10.591Z","published":"2026-06-02T14:15:10.591Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/elixir-mint/mint/security/advisories/GHSA-g586-ccqf-7x4r"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://cna.erlef.org/cves/CVE-2026-48862.html"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/elixir-mint/mint/commit/70b97b6a5209fb288b0e04d8e657dda26c59de67"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://hex.pm/packages/mint"}],"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":"Unbounded conn.streams growth in Mint HTTP/2 client via unenforced PUSH_PROMISE concurrency","upstream":[]}
