Hi, The following vulnerability was published for cpp-httplib. CVE-2026-28435[0]: | cpp-httplib is a C++11 single-file header-only cross platform | HTTP/HTTPS library. Prior to 0.35.0, cpp-httplib (httplib.h) does | not enforce Server::set_payload_max_length() on the decompressed | request body when using HandlerWithContentReader (streaming | ContentReader) with Content-Encoding: gzip (or other supported | encodings). A small compressed payload can expand beyond the | configured payload limit and be processed by the application, | enabling a payload size limit bypass and potential denial of service | (CPU/memory exhaustion). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.35.0. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
