CVE-2026-45770

HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. From version 8.0.0 to 8.0.5, a Lua rule that registers too many flow variables can corrupt Lua detection state and may bypass Suricata's restricted Lua sandbox. This requires an affected Lua script or rule to be loaded.

Risk Assessment

Excessive flow variables being registered may also cause Suricata to crash. Sandbox bypass could allow unauthorized actions and weaken network protection.

Recommendation

Update Suricata to version 8.0.5, which contains the fix. As a workaround, disable security.lua.allow-rules unless Lua rules are required.
