{"cve":"CVE-2022-36025","nvd":{"published":"2022-09-24T02:15:09.587","modified":"2026-06-17T04:52:45.950","status":"Modified","description":"Besu is a Java-based Ethereum client. In versions newer than 22.1.3 and prior to 22.7.1, Besu is subject to an Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types. An error in 32 bit signed and unsigned types in the calculation of available gas in the CALL operations (including DELEGATECALL) results in incorrect gas being passed into called contracts and incorrect gas being returned after call execution. Where the amount of gas makes a difference in the success or failure, or if the gas is a negative 64 bit value, the execution will result in a different state root than expected, resulting in a consensus failure in networks with multiple EVM implementations. In networks with a single EVM implementation this can be used to execute with significantly more gas than then transaction requested, possibly exceeding gas limitations. This issue is patched in version 22.7.1. As a workaround, reverting to version 22.1.3 or earlier will prevent incorrect execution.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","score":9.1},"cwes":["CWE-681","CWE-196"],"references":["https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/security/advisories/GHSA-4456-w38r-m53x","https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/security/advisories/GHSA-4456-w38r-m53x"],"products":["linuxfoundation:besu"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:36:05.460296998+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-36025","score":0.01053,"percentile":0.64371,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-4456-w38r-m53x","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-4456-w38r-m53x","summary":"Besu VM vulnerable to gas allocation error in CALL operations","modified":"2023-11-08T04:09:58.116045Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.hyperledger.besu:evm","purl":"pkg:maven/org.hyperledger.besu/evm","ranges":[">=22.4.0-RC1 <22.7.1"],"fixed":["22.7.1"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
