CVE-2026-48586 is an improper handling of highly compressed data vulnerability in Apache Thrift affecting the C++, Java, Python, Go, D, and C/GLib bindings before version 0.24.0. The issue is associated with TZlibTransport decompression size limit handling, where highly compressed input can expand disproportionately during decompression. This creates a data amplification condition that can be triggered remotely and can force the application to process or allocate resources far beyond the size of the original input. The vulnerability is primarily an availability issue rather than a confidentiality or integrity flaw.
