Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-26996)

CWE-ID: CWE-1333 - Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing untrusted input with a regular expressions within "minimatch" function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.


2) Improper Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33186)

CWE-ID: CWE-285 - Improper Authorization

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to bypass authorization.

The vulnerability exists due to authorization bypass resulting from improper input validation of the HTTP/2 `:path` pseudo-header. A remote attacker can send raw HTTP/2 frames with malformed `:path` headers directly to the gRPC server to bypass authorization.
