{"id":"CVE-2024-37168","aliases":["GHSA-7v5v-9h63-cj86"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2024-37168","summary":"@grpc/grpc-js can allocate memory for incoming messages well above configured limits","details":"@grpc/grps-js implements the core functionality of gRPC purely in JavaScript, without a C++ addon. Prior to versions 1.10.9, 1.9.15, and 1.8.22, there are two separate code paths in which memory can be allocated per message in excess of the `grpc.max_receive_message_length` channel option: If an incoming message has a size on the wire greater than the configured limit, the entire message is buffered before it is discarded; and/or if an incoming message has a size within the limit on the wire but decompresses to a size greater than the limit, the entire message is decompressed into memory, and on the server is not discarded. This has been patched in versions 1.10.9, 1.9.15, and 1.8.22.\n","published":"2024-06-10T21:32:06.403Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:22.873738695Z","cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"},"epss":{"score":0.00671,"percentile":0.48607,"asOf":"2026-08-08"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@grpc/grpc-js","fixedVersion":"1.10.9"},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@grpc/grpc-js","fixedVersion":"1.9.15"},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@grpc/grpc-js","fixedVersion":"1.8.22"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/grpc/grpc-node/commit/08b0422dae56467ecae1007e899efe66a8c4a650","label":"grpc/grpc-node@08b0422"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/37xxx/CVE-2024-37168.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/grpc/grpc-node/security/advisories/GHSA-7v5v-9h63-cj86"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-37168"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/grpc/grpc-node/commit/08b0422dae56467ecae1007e899efe66a8c4a650"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/grpc/grpc-node/commit/674f4e351a619fd4532f84ae6dff96b8ee4e1ed3"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/grpc/grpc-node/commit/a8a020339c7eab1347a343a512ad17a4aea4bfdb"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/grpc/grpc-node"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:22.873738695Z"}}
