CVE-2025-27421
Abacus is a highly scalable and stateless counting API. A critical goroutine leak vulnerability has been identified in the Abacus server's Server-Sent Events (SSE) implementation. The issue occurs when clients disconnect from the /stream endpoint, as the server fails to properly clean up resources and terminate associated goroutines. This leads to resource exhaustion where the server continues running but eventually stops accepting new SSE connections while maintaining high memory usage. The vulnerability specifically involves improper channel cleanup in the event handling mechanism, causing goroutines to remain blocked indefinitely. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.0.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1

"value": "Abacus es una API de conteo altamente escalable y sin estado. Se ha identificado una vulnerabilidad crítica de fuga de goroutines en la implementación de eventos enviados por el servidor (SSE) del servidor Abacus. El problema ocurre cuando los clientes se desconectan del endpoint /stream, ya que el servidor no depura adecuadamente los recursos ni termina los goroutines asociados. Esto provoca el agotamiento de los recursos, donde el servidor continúa ejecutándose pero finalmente deja de aceptar nuevas conexiones SSE mientras mantiene un alto uso de memoria. La vulnerabilidad involucra específicamente una limpieza de canal incorrecta en el mecanismo de gestión de eventos, lo que hace que los goroutines permanezcan bloqueados indefinidamente. Esta vulnerabilidad se solucionó en 1.4.0."
