CVE-2026-45798
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. From 4.5.0 until 4.14.6 and 5.0.0-beta2, compare_wazuh_versions() in src/shared/version_op.c copies the attacker-controlled enrollment V: field into a 10-byte stack buffer with strncpy() but does not explicitly terminate the buffer. The function is reachable before authentication through wazuh-authd on TCP port 1515 when anonymous TLS enrollment is enabled. A version string of at least nine non-null bytes can cause strchr() and strtok() to read beyond ver2 and can make strtok() write a null byte into adjacent stack memory, allowing a remote denial of service. This issue is fixed in versions 4.14.6 and 5.0.0-beta2.

"value": "Wazuh es una plataforma de código abierto y gratuita utilizada para la prevención, detección y respuesta a amenazas. Desde 4.5.0 hasta 4.14.6 y 5.0.0-beta2, compare_wazuh_versions() en src/shared/version_op.c copia el campo V: de inscripción controlado por el atacante en un búfer de pila de 10 bytes con strncpy() pero no termina explícitamente el búfer. La función es accesible antes de la autenticación a través de wazuh-authd en el puerto TCP 1515 cuando la inscripción TLS anónima está habilitada. Una cadena de versión de al menos nueve bytes no nulos puede hacer que strchr() y strtok() lean más allá de ver2 y puede hacer que strtok() escriba un byte nulo en la memoria de pila adyacente, permitiendo una denegación de servicio remota. Este problema está solucionado en las versiones 4.14.6 y 5.0.0-beta2."
