CVE-2026-33592
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust server memory via the FindServers Discovery Service in open62541. The serverUris field of FindServersRequest is not validated for length or array size. An attacker can declare an arbitrarily large string (up to ~3.9 GB) delivered across intermediate chunks without ever sending the final chunk. The server buffers all chunks in RAM indefinitely until the SecureChannel times out. The attack is pre-session and bypasses all encryption configuration. The issue affects open62541: from 1.4.0 through 1.4.16, from 1.5.0 through 1.5.4, master.

"value": "Un atacante remoto no autenticado puede agotar la memoria del servidor a través del servicio de descubrimiento FindServers en open62541. El campo serverUris de FindServersRequest no se valida en cuanto a longitud o tamaño de array. Un atacante puede declarar una cadena de caracteres arbitrariamente grande (hasta ~3.9 GB) entregada a través de fragmentos intermedios sin enviar nunca el fragmento final. El servidor almacena en búfer todos los fragmentos en la RAM indefinidamente hasta que el SecureChannel agota el tiempo de espera. El ataque es pre-sesión y omite toda la configuración de cifrado. El problema afecta a open62541: desde 1.4.0 hasta 1.4.16, desde 1.5.0 hasta 1.5.4, master."
