Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-63041)

CWE-ID: CWE-807 - Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision

CVSSv4: 8.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges or perform an authorization bypass.

The vulnerability exists due to reliance on untrusted inputs in a security decision in the attach-consumer-label plugin when handling client-supplied consumer-label headers. A remote attacker can send certain header values to escalate privileges or perform an authorization bypass.


2) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74848)

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to make other clients receive attacker-chosen or other users' responses.

The vulnerability exists due to inconsistent interpretation of http requests in serverless-plugin routes when handling crafted http requests. A remote attacker can send crafted requests to make other clients receive attacker-chosen or other users' responses.


3) Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-75005)

CWE-ID: CWE-407 - Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity

CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to inefficient algorithmic complexity in graphql-limit-count routes when handling a small crafted request. A remote attacker can send a small crafted request to cause a denial of service.

A single request can pin a gateway worker at 100% CPU for an extended period.


4) LDAP injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-75020)

CWE-ID: CWE-90 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an LDAP Query ('LDAP Injection')

CVSSv4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote user to impersonate another identity.

The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an LDAP query in the ldap-auth plugin when authenticating against the LDAP directory. A remote user can supply crafted credentials to impersonate another identity.

The issue affects consumer mapping across LDAP subtrees that were intended to be outside the configured scope.
