CVE-2026-33754 PUBLISHED

Wazuh: Unauthenticated cluster packet length leads to uncontrolled memory allocation (remote DoS)

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 23.03.2026 Published: 16.07.2026 Updated: 17.07.2026

Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. In versions 3.9.0 and above, prior to 4.14.5, a remote attacker can trigger memory exhaustion in the cluster protocol parser by sending a crafted message header with an arbitrarily large payload length. The length is trusted before authentication/decryption and used directly to allocate memory, allowing unauthenticated denial of service of the cluster service. This issue has been fixed in version 4.14.5.
