CVE-2026-11946

EUVD-2026-41326

02.07.2026, 12:16

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust
server memory via the GetEndpoints Discovery Service in open62541. The
endpointUrl field of GetEndpointsRequest is not validated for length. An
attacker can declare an arbitrarily large string (up to ~4.09 GB via the UInt32
length field) 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 configurations.

The issue affects open62541: from 1.4.0 through 1.4.16, from 1.5.0 through 1.5.4, master.
