Overview

CVE-2026-33592 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 2, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust

server memory via the FindServers Discovery Service in open62541. The

serverUris field of FindServersRequest is not validated for length or array

size. An attacker can declare an arbitrarily large string (up to ~3.9 GB)

delivered across intermediate chunks without ever sending the final chunk. The

server buffers all chunks in RAM indefinitely until the SecureChannel times

out. The attack is pre-session and bypasses all encryption configuration. The issue affects open62541: from 1.4.0 through 1.4.16, from 1.5.0 through 1.5.4, master.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
