CVE-2026-28525 PUBLISHED

SWUpdate Integer Underflow in Multipart Upload Parser

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 27.02.2026 Published: 23.04.2026 Updated: 23.04.2026

SWUpdate contains an integer underflow vulnerability in the multipart upload parser in mongoose_multipart.c that allows unauthenticated attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a crafted HTTP POST request to /upload with a malformed multipart boundary and controlled TCP stream timing. Attackers can trigger an integer underflow in the mg_http_multipart_continue_wait_for_chunk() function when the buffer length falls within a specific range, causing an out-of-bounds heap read that writes data beyond the allocated receive buffer to a local IPC socket.
