waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.GHSA-c2h9-f9cc-27xh ↗EUVD-2026-125542 ↗
description
grpc_server versions 1.0.0 through before 1.1.0 and grpc versions 0.3.1 through before 1.0.0 mishandle prematurely ended client-streaming and bidirectional-streaming requests. An unauthenticated remote client can tie up BEAM scheduler capacity and potentially cause service degradation when it can send such requests to an exposed gRPC endpoint.
mitigation
Upgrade grpc_server to 1.1.0 or later, or grpc to 1.0.0 or later. For elixir-grpc/grpc source-based deployments, update to revision 38955f1392cbf08eef231a347348445410455c85 or 0332faae5f5e132314794dbfdae5edecbccea292.
fixed in 1.0.0, 1.1.0
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
