CVE-2026-73550

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.5)—

Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. Prior to 1.36.10, 1.37.6, 1.38.4, and 1.39.1, Envoy copies every decoded HTTP/2 Host header value before discarding it when :authority is already present. The discarded value bypasses saveHeader, so its bytes and count are not charged against request header limits. An unauthenticated client can use HPACK indexing to submit many references to a large Host value across a bounded number of streams, forcing extreme header-copy allocation and causing the proxy to be out-of-memory killed. The relevant scope boundary is that the demonstrated amplification uses HTTP/2 HPACK and the duplicate Host discard behavior. This issue is fixed in versions 1.36.10, 1.37.6, 1.38.4, and 1.39.1.

ExplotaciónT1190 Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access92 %
Impacto principalT1499.004 Application or System Exploitationimpact88 %

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N sin interacción permite explotación remota directa (T1190). La vulnerabilidad causa asignación extrema de memoria mediante HPACK, resultando en DoS por agotamiento de recursos (T1499.004).

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
