CVE-2026-115297 PUBLISHED

NULL Pointer Dereference in Packetbeat Leading to Denial of Service

Assigner: elastic
Reserved: 22.10.2026 Published: 03.11.2026 Updated: 03.11.2026

NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476) in the AMQP protocol parser in Packetbeat can lead to denial of service via specially crafted network traffic. An unauthenticated attacker who can send traffic on a network segment that Packetbeat monitors for AMQP can cause a Go runtime panic that terminates the Packetbeat process. A single crafted packet is sufficient. No AMQP authentication is necessary. While Packetbeat is not running, it does not collect network telemetry.
