CVE-2026-107909

CriticalCVSS 9.1
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A heap-based out-of-bounds write in the ws_read_frame function (src/bolt/ws.c) and the buffer_apply_mask function (src/bolt/buffer.c) in FalkorDB before 4.20.0 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service and possibly corrupt heap memory by sending a WebSocket frame with a 64-bit extended payload length to the Bolt port. The payload length is not bounded, and the only bounds check in buffer_apply_mask is an ASSERT(), which is compiled out in release builds, so the function XORs memory beyond the end of the receive buffer with the attacker-supplied mask key. Only deployments that enable the Bolt endpoint (BOLT_PORT, disabled by default) are affected.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could remotely cause a denial of service or corrupt memory, potentially leading to further exploitation. The risk applies only to systems with the Bolt port enabled.

Recommendation

Update FalkorDB to version 4.20.0 or later. If the Bolt port is not used, ensure it is disabled.
