CVE-2026-59296
Description
A flaw was found in Micrometer's StatsD and Logging meter registries. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject line terminators into metric data, such as names or tag values, due to insufficient sanitization of untrusted input. Exploitation can lead to the spoofing of arbitrary metrics, including critical system or business metrics, and the injection of false log entries, potentially impacting monitoring and auditing systems.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
