CVE-2026-104774

OWASP Coraza WAF from version 3.4.0 to 3.8.0 contains a vulnerability in the multipart processor that treats io.ErrUnexpectedEOF as nonfatal without setting MULTIPART_STRICT_ERROR. A remote attacker can submit a truncated multipart body, causing parsing to stop without raising the strict-error signal used by the recommended defensive rule, allowing parser-disagreement payloads to reach a backend.

OWASP Coraza WAF from version 3.0.0 to 3.8.0 contains a vulnerability in the Native audit-log formatter that writes attacker-influenced request and response fields without neutralizing carriage returns or line feeds. When SecAuditLogFormat Native is enabled, injected line breaks can create forged lines inside a transaction record, potentially misleading operators and line-oriented SIEM processing.

OWASP Coraza WAF is a golang modsecurity compatible web application firewall library. From 3.0.0 until 3.8.1, Coraza silently drops arguments after SecArgumentsLimit in internal/corazawaf/transaction.go, while internal/bodyprocessors/urlencoded.go writes ARGS_POST without enforcing the cap. The flaw is triggered when an unauthenticated attacker sends more arguments than SecArgumentsLimit or supplies bodies that expand beyond the configured argument and flattening budgets. An unauthenticated attacker can flood requests with arguments so excess values are silently omitted from ARGS, ARGS_GET, ARGS_NAMES, ARGS_GET_NAMES, ARGS_POST, or ARGS_PATH before security rules inspect them; affected urlencoded and JSON processing can also consume excessive memory. The omission can bypass WAF rules protecting the downstream application, and unbounded or amplified argument processing can cause memory consumption and service degradation. This issue is fixed in version 3.8.1.

OWASP Coraza WAF, a golang modsecurity compatible web application firewall library, prior to 3.8.1, has a vulnerability in internal/cookies.ParseCookies that handles boundary ASCII control characters and control-only or empty cookie names differently from several backend cookie parsers. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a Cookie header so Coraza indexes or drops a cookie under a different name or value from the backend application, causing rules targeting REQUEST_COOKIES or REQUEST_COOKIES_NAMES to miss application-visible attacker data. This issue is fixed in version 3.8.1.

OWASP Coraza WAF, a golang modsecurity compatible web application firewall library, versions 3.0.0 through 3.8.0, has a vulnerability in the multipart loop in internal/bodyprocessors/multipart.go that executes defer temp.Close() for every uploaded file part, so each temporary-file descriptor remains open until the complete request returns. An unauthenticated attacker can submit a multipart body containing many minimal file parts and exhaust the process file-descriptor table within the request-body size limit, causing os.CreateTemp failures, MULTIPART_STRICT_ERROR responses, blocked legitimate uploads, and process-wide inability to open files or sockets. This issue is fixed in version 3.8.0.

OWASP Coraza WAF, a golang modsecurity compatible web application firewall library, versions 3.0.0 through 3.8.0, has a vulnerability in ProcessResponse in internal/bodyprocessors/json.go that passes the ignoreJSONRecursionLimit value of -1 to readJSON, while the recursive guard only stops at zero. A network attacker who can cause an application protected by Coraza to return deeply nested JSON can make response-body processing perform quadratic work, consuming one CPU core for seconds per response within the default ResponseBodyLimit. This issue is fixed in version 3.8.0.

OWASP Coraza WAF, a golang modsecurity compatible web application firewall library, versions 3.0.0 through 3.8.0, has a vulnerability in ProcessURI in internal/corazawaf/transaction.go that handles a url.ParseRequestURI failure by retaining the raw URI but leaving QUERY_STRING, ARGS_GET, ARGS_GET_NAMES, and the GET-derived portion of ARGS empty. An unauthenticated attacker can place control bytes in a URI passed directly by integrations such as coraza-spoa, coraza-proxy-wasm, custom FFI hosts, or WASM hosts, causing Coraza to omit query parameters that the downstream integration may still process and allowing rules targeting those variables to be bypassed. This issue is fixed in version 3.8.0.

OWASP Coraza WAF, a modsecurity compatible web application firewall library, crashes due to misuse of `log.Fatalf`. The application crashes immediately after receiving crafted requests from attackers, triggered by an error in `mime.ParseMediaType`.
