Summary
NanoMQ before version 0.24.10 has an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the hook_work_cb() function in webhook_inproc.c. The cJSON_Parse function reads data from a buffer without a guaranteed null terminator, potentially accessing memory beyond the allocated buffer.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can cause sensitive memory data leakage or server crash by sending a specially crafted JSON payload with a power-of-two length >=1024.
Recommendation
Update NanoMQ to version 0.24.10 or later, which includes the fix.
Original NVD description (English source)
NanoMQ MQTT Broker (NanoMQ) is an all-around Edge Messaging Platform. Prior to version 0.24.10, in NanoMQ's webhook_inproc.c, the hook_work_cb() function processes nng messages by parsing the message body with cJSON_Parse(body). The body is obtained from nng_msg_body(msg), which is a binary buffer without a guaranteed null terminator. This leads to an out-of-bounds read (OOB read) as cJSON_Parse reads until it finds a \0, potentially accessing memory beyond the allocated buffer (e.g., nng_msg metadata or adjacent heap/stack). The issue is often masked by nng's allocation padding (extra 32 bytes of zeros for non-power-of-two sizes <1024 or non-aligned). The overflow is reliably triggered when the JSON payload length is a power-of-two >=1024 (no padding added). This issue has been patched in version 0.24.10.
