Wazuh · Wazuh · CVE-2026-74046
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Wazuh versions 4.4.0 through 4.14.6
**Description**
A denial of service issue exists in the `fdecompress files()` function within `cluster.py`. Authenticated cluster peers possessing a valid cluster Fernet key can trigger memory exhaustion and service disruption on the master node by uploading a malicious synchronization archive. This is achieved using a zip bomb, which is a small, highly compressed archive that expands to a massive size when decompressed, forcing `wazuh-clusterd` to load the full payload into memory due to a lack of decompressed size limits.
**Recommendations**
Update to version 4.14.7 or later.
