Real, but low real-world risk
A genuine vulnerability on paper, but EPSS shows little real-world exploitation — the base score may overstate urgency. This is not the same as a false positive.

Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop') vulnerability in benoitc hackney allows Excessive Allocation. The Alt-Svc response header parser in src/hackney_altsvc.erl does not guarantee forward progress. When parse_token/2 receives a non-token, non-whitespace, non-comma byte (e.g. !, @, =, ;), it returns the input unchanged. skip_comma/1 also returns the buffer unchanged when the first byte is not a comma. parse_entries/2 then recurses with identical data, creating a tight infinite tail-recursive loop that pins a scheduler at 100% CPU. The calling process never returns. The entry point parse_and_cache/3 is called synchronously in the connection process on every HTTP response. A single-byte Alt-Svc: ! response header is sufficient to trigger the hang; the header is fully controlled by any HTTP origin the client connects to. This issue affects hackney: from 2.0.0-beta.1 before 4.0.1.

This scores high on paper (CVSS 7.5) but the real-world signal is low. It is not in CISA KEV and no public exploit was found, and near-term exploitation looks unlikely (EPSS about 1%). Verify your own exposure before treating it as urgent. It is reachable over the network with no authentication and no user interaction, which is the most dangerous profile. Not an emergency for most teams, but patch it in your normal cycle and check whether the affected component is actually exposed in your setup.
