CVE-2026-55149: vouch-proxy has an Unbounded Multipart Cookie Allocation DoS

August 20, 2026

vouch-proxy v0.47.2 contains an unauthenticated remote denial-of-service vulnerability in its multipart cookie reassembly logic. The /validate endpoint parses the total cookie part count directly from the attacker-controlled cookie name (e.g., VouchCookie_1of<N>) and passes it without any bounds check to make([]string, N). A single HTTP request with N=10000000000 causes the Go runtime to attempt a ~160 GB heap allocation, triggering a fatal out-of-memory error that crashes the server process immediately. No authentication or prior session is required.
