GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

GHSA-m425-mq94-257g

Impact

In affected releases of gRPC-Go, it is possible for an attacker to send HTTP/2 requests, cancel them, and send subsequent requests, which is valid by the HTTP/2 protocol, but would cause the gRPC-Go server to launch more concurrent method handlers than the configured maximum stream limit.

Patches

This vulnerability was addressed by #​6703 and has been included in patch releases: 1.56.3, 1.57.1, 1.58.3. It is also included in the latest release, 1.59.0.

Along with applying the patch, users should also ensure they are using the grpc.MaxConcurrentStreams server option to apply a limit to the server's resources used for any single connection.

Workarounds

None.

CVE-2026-33186

Impact

What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?

It is an Authorization Bypass resulting from Improper Input Validation of the HTTP/2 :path pseudo-header.

The gRPC-Go server was too lenient in its routing logic, accepting requests where the :path omitted the mandatory leading slash (e.g., Service/Method instead of /Service/Method). While the server successfully routed these requests to the correct handler, authorization interceptors (including the official grpc/authz package) evaluated the raw, non-canonical path string. Consequently, "deny" rules defined using canonical paths (starting with /) failed to match the incoming request, allowing it to bypass the policy if a fallback "allow" rule was present.

Who is impacted?
This affects gRPC-Go servers that meet both of the following criteria:

1. They use path-based authorization interceptors, such as the official RBAC implementation in google.golang.org/grpc/authz or custom interceptors relying on info.FullMethod or grpc.Method(ctx).
2. Their security policy contains specific "deny" rules for canonical paths but allows other requests by default (a fallback "allow" rule).

The vulnerability is exploitable by an attacker who can send raw HTTP/2 frames with malformed :path headers directly to the gRPC server.

Patches

Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?

Yes, the issue has been patched. The fix ensures that any request with a :path that does not start with a leading slash is immediately rejected with a codes.Unimplemented error, preventing it from reaching authorization interceptors or handlers with a non-canonical path string.

Users should upgrade to the following versions (or newer):

• v1.79.3
• The latest master branch.

It is recommended that all users employing path-based authorization (especially grpc/authz) upgrade as soon as the patch is available in a tagged release.

Workarounds

Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?

While upgrading is the most secure and recommended path, users can mitigate the vulnerability using one of the following methods:

1. Use a Validating Interceptor (Recommended Mitigation)

Add an "outermost" interceptor to your server that validates the path before any other authorization logic runs:

func pathValidationInterceptor(ctx context.Context, req any, info *grpc.UnaryServerInfo, handler grpc.UnaryHandler) (any, error) {
    if info.FullMethod == "" || info.FullMethod[0] != '/' {
        return nil, status.Errorf(codes.Unimplemented, "malformed method name")
    }   
    return handler(ctx, req)
}

// Ensure this is the FIRST interceptor in your chain
s := grpc.NewServer(
    grpc.ChainUnaryInterceptor(pathValidationInterceptor, authzInterceptor),
)

2. Infrastructure-Level Normalization

If your gRPC server is behind a reverse proxy or load balancer (such as Envoy, NGINX, or an L7 Cloud Load Balancer), ensure it is configured to enforce strict HTTP/2 compliance for pseudo-headers and reject or normalize requests where the :path header does not start with a leading slash.

3. Policy Hardening

Switch to a "default deny" posture in your authorization policies (explicitly listing all allowed paths and denying everything else) to reduce the risk of bypasses via malformed inputs.

Behavior Changes

• xds: Remove support for GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_XDS_FALLBACK environment variable. Fallback support can no longer be disabled. (#​8482)
• stats: Introduce DelayedPickComplete event, a type alias of PickerUpdated. (#​8465)
  • This (combined) event will now be emitted only once per call, when a transport is successfully selected for the attempt.
  • OpenTelemetry metrics will no longer have multiple "Delayed LB pick complete" events in Go, matching other gRPC languages.
  • A future release will delete the PickerUpdated symbol.
• credentials: Properly apply grpc.WithAuthority as the highest-priority option for setting authority, above the setting in the credentials themselves. (#​8488)
  • Now that this WithAuthority is available, the credentials should not be used to override the authority.
• round_robin: Randomize the order in which addresses are connected to in order to spread out initial RPC load between clients. (#​8438)
• server: Return status code INTERNAL when a client sends more than one request in unary and server streaming RPC. (#​8385)
  • This is a behavior change but also a bug fix to bring gRPC-Go in line with the gRPC spec.

New Features

v1.74.2: Release 1.74.2

Compare Source

New Features

• grpc: introduce new DialOptions and ServerOptions (WithStaticStreamWindowSize, WithStaticConnWindowSize, StaticStreamWindowSize, StaticConnWindowSize) that force fixed window sizes for all HTTP/2 connections. By default, gRPC uses dynamic sizing of these windows based upon a BDP estimation algorithm. The existing options (WithInitialWindowSize, etc) also disable BDP estimation, but this behavior will be changed in a following release. (#​8283)

API Changes

• balancer: add ExitIdle method to Balancer interface. Earlier, implementing this method was optional. (#​8367)

• The new experimental pickfirst LB policy (disabled by default) supports Happy Eyeballs, interleaving IPv4 and IPv6 address as described in RFC-8305 section 4, to attempt connections to multiple backends concurrently. The experimental pickfirst policy can be enabled by setting the environment variable GRPC_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_NEW_PICK_FIRST to true. (#​7725, #​7742)
• balancer/pickfirst: Emit metrics from the pick_first load balancing policy (#​7839)
• grpc: export MethodHandler, which is the type of an already-exported field in MethodDesc (#​7796)
  • Special Thanks: @​mohdjishin

Bug Fixes

• credentials/google: set scope for application default credentials (#​7887)
  • Special Thanks: @​halvards
• xds: fix edge-case issues where some clients or servers would not initialize correctly or would not receive errors when resources are invalid or unavailable if another channel or server with the same target was already in use . (#​7851, #​7853)
• examples: fix the debugging example, which was broken by a recent change (#​7833)

Behavior Changes

• client: update retry attempt backoff to apply jitter per updates to gRFC A6. (#​7869)
  • Special Thanks: @​isgj
• balancer/weightedroundrobin: use the pick_first LB policy to manage connections (#​7826)

API Changes

• balancer: An internal method is added to the balancer.SubConn interface to force implementors to embed a delegate implementation. This requirement is present in the interface documentation, but wasn't enforced earlier. (#​7840)

Performance Improvements

• mem: implement a ReadAll() method for more efficient io.Reader consumption (#​7653)
  • Special Thanks: @​ash2k
• mem: use slice capacity instead of length to determine whether to pool buffers or directly allocate them (#​7702)
  • Special Thanks: @​PapaCharlie

Documentation

• examples/csm_observability: Add xDS Credentials and switch server to be xDS enabled (#​7875)

v1.68.2: Release 1.68.2

Dependencies

• Remove the experimental stats/opentelemetry module and instead add the experimental packages it contains directly into the main google.golang.org/grpc module (#​7936)

v1.68.1: Release 1.68.1

Compare Source

Bug Fixes

• credentials/alts: avoid SRV and TXT lookups for handshaker service to work around hangs caused by buggy versions of systemd-resolved. (#​7861)

Dependencies

• Relax minimum Go version requirement from go1.22.7 to go1.22. (#​7831)

v1.68.0: Release 1.68.0

Compare Source

Known Issues

• The recently added grpc.NewClient function is incompatible with forward proxies, because it resolves the target hostname on the client instead of passing the hostname to the proxy. This bug has been present since the introduction of NewClient. A fix is expected to be a part of grpc-go v1.70. (#​7556)

---

Behavior Changes

• stats/opentelemetry/csm: Get mesh_id local label from "CSM_MESH_ID" environment variable, rather than parsing from bootstrap file (#​7740)
• orca (experimental): if using an ORCA listener, it must now be registered only on a READY SubConn, and the listener will automatically be stopped when the connection is lost. (#​7663)
• client: ClientConn.Close() now closes transports simultaneously and waits for transports to be closed before returning. (#​7666)
• credentials: TLS credentials created via NewTLS that use tls.Config.GetConfigForClient will now have CipherSuites, supported TLS versions and ALPN configured automatically. These were previously only set for configs not using the GetConfigForClient option. (#​7709)

Bug Fixes

• transport: prevent deadlock in client transport shutdown when writing the GOAWAY frame hangs. (#​7662)
• mem: reuse buffers more accurately by using slice capacity instead of length (#​7702)
  • Special Thanks: @​PapaCharlie
• status: Fix regression caused by #​6919 in status.Details() causing it to return a wrapped type when getting proto messages generated with protoc-gen-go < v1. (#​7724)

Dependencies

• Bump minimum supported Go version to go1.22.7. (#​7624)

Bug Fixes

• transport: Fix a bug causing stream failures due to miscalculation of the flow control window in both clients and servers. (#​7667)
• xds/server: Fix xDS Server memory leak. (#​7681)

v1.67.0: Release 1.67.0

Compare Source

Bug Fixes

• ringhash: when used with multiple EDS priorities, fix bug that could prevent a higher priority from recovering from transient failure. (#​7364)
  • Special Thanks: @​atollena

Behavior Changes

• In accordance with RFC 7540, clients and servers will now reject TLS connections that don't support ALPN. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable GRPC_ENFORCE_ALPN_ENABLED to false (case insensitive). Please file a bug if you encounter any issues with this behavior. The environment variable to revert this behavior will be removed in an upcoming release. (#​7535)
