Echo: google.golang.org/grpc: security update to 1.82.2
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 457698
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- gRPC-Go is the Go language implementation of gRPC. Prior to 1.82.2 and 1.83.2, servers created with
xds.NewGRPCServer() allow internal/transport/http2_server.go to accept an RPC containing neither the
:authority header nor the Host header, while RouteAndProcess in internal/xds/server/routing.go assumes
that an authority value exists and indexes the empty slice. A remote client that can complete transport
connection establishment can trigger an index-out-of-bounds panic that is not recovered by the per-RPC
goroutine and terminates the entire server process. In insecure or ordinary TLS deployments the request
can be unauthenticated, while strict mTLS or ALTS deployments require valid transport credentials before
the malformed RPC can reach the interceptor. This issue is fixed in versions 1.82.2 and 1.83.2.
(CVE-2026-84445)
Solution
Update the google.golang.org/grpc library and its related packages to version 1.82.2 or later.See Also
