CVE-2026-7776 PUBLISHED

Boundary Workers Vulnerable to Denial of Service During TLS Handshake

Assigner: HashiCorp
Reserved: 04.05.2026 Published: 04.05.2026 Updated: 04.05.2026

Boundary Community Edition and Boundary Enterprise (“Boundary”) workers are vulnerable to a denial-of-service condition during node enrollment TLS handshakes. An attacker with network access to the worker authentication listener may open a connection and delay or withhold the client certificate during the TLS handshake, causing worker connection handling to block. This may prevent legitimate worker connections from being accepted or routed. This vulnerability, CVE-2026-7776, is fixed in Boundary 0.21.3, 0.20.3, 0.19.5.
