{"cve":"CVE-2026-73549","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-21T20:17:28.567","modified":"2026-10-05T14:09:22.283","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 Utility::copyInternetAddressAndPort and QUIC client-address paths reconstruct scoped IPv6 addresses through addressAsString and Ipv6Instance. The string includes a percent scope identifier that inet_pton cannot parse, causing an exception or abort. Kernel-provided scoped IPv6 destinations in ORIGINAL_DST transparent-proxy deployments, and affected QUIC connection paths, can therefore terminate the process. The relevant scope boundary is that the HTTP use_http_header override rejects scoped addresses earlier; the advisory's crash path requires a kernel-provided original destination or the affected QUIC path. 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:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.3},"cwes":["CWE-754"],"references":["https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/commit/109e5a5b08ad10d99074cefd55a747a16ee64da7","https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/commit/59b1744a6cb62746db418ac06fc5e359fd25fdb7","https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/commit/6e39f4c94deff7a60d382c2d95883e0ea49ff691","https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/commit/ab2dca2d65b079768230a7c3d825afeefa330215","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-2026-73549","score":0.00618,"percentile":0.4933,"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).
