{"cve":"CVE-2026-50572","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-21T20:17:25.970","modified":"2026-10-05T14:12:02.027","status":"Analyzed","description":"Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. Prior to 1.36.10, 1.37.6, 1.38.4, and 1.39.1, Envoy's HTTP external-authorization client can retain a stale request callback after a request is rejected. When RawHttpClientImpl::onSuccess later processes the authorization response, it can invoke callbacks_ after the callback owner has been destroyed, causing a use-after-free and process crash under production traffic. The relevant scope boundary is that the vulnerable path uses the HTTP ext_authz client; the advisory does not establish the same trigger for unrelated filters. This issue is fixed in versions 1.36.10, 1.37.6, 1.38.4, and 1.39.1.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.9},"cwes":["CWE-416"],"references":["https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/commit/8dacef38337aeffd62866b5c5910104b63b33db8","https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/commit/a49085623654e27e9ad6298928557644b849d7ce","https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/commit/c1b29534a294cb0999e99e1fe0de000310165f03","https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/commit/c524571ffad517ba650d9563f85afa89194e2cfb","https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/releases/tag/v1.36.10"],"products":["envoyproxy:envoy"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:55:23.253742848+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-50572","score":0.0068,"percentile":0.52123,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"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).
