ETK-2026-1840Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.description
go-httpbin versions before v2.26.0 are affected by unbounded allocation while parsing WebSocket frame lengths. An unauthenticated remote client able to reach the WebSocket endpoint can cause process termination through memory exhaustion, disrupting all requests handled by that instance.
mitigation
Upgrade github.com/mccutchen/go-httpbin/v2 to v2.26.0 or later. Restrict untrusted access to the WebSocket endpoint until the upgrade is deployed.
fixed in v2.26.0
outcome
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
