CVE-2026-47774  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-405  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade envoyproxy/envoy to version 1.35.11, 1.36.7, 1.37.3, 1.38.1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Asymmetric Resource Consumption (Amplification) via the cookie header size bypass and HPACK amplification. An attacker can cause resource exhaustion and disrupt service availability by sending specially crafted HPACK-compressed headers or initiating Slowloris-style attacks that overwhelm the server with concurrent streams and large header lists.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling HTTP/2 support where not required, deploying behind a CDN or reverse proxy that can absorb or rate-limit such attacks, or limiting the maximum number of concurrent streams and header list size via configuration.
