Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) 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.


2) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-34986)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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 cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in JWE decryption in key_wrap.go when processing a JWE object with a key wrapping algorithm and an empty encrypted_key field. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted JWE object to cause a denial of service.

The issue is reachable through ParseEncrypted(), ParseEncryptedJSON(), or ParseEncryptedCompact() followed by Decrypt(), and applications are affected only if accepted key algorithms include key wrapping algorithms.


3) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-35469)

CWE-ID: CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to SPDY/3 frame parser does not validate attacker-controlled counts and lengths before allocating memory. A remote user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
