CVE-2026-47074 (GCVE-0-2026-47074)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-05-28 09:05 – Updated: 2026-05-29 04:40

Title

ex_aws_sns SigningCertURL not validated in verify_message/1

Summary

Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability in ex-aws ex_aws_sns (ExAws.SNS, ExAws.SNS.PublicKeyCache modules) allows Signature Spoofing by Improper Validation. This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/ex_aws/sns.ex, lib/ex_aws/sns/public_key_cache.ex and program routines 'Elixir.ExAws.SNS':verify_message/1, 'Elixir.ExAws.SNS.PublicKeyCache':get/1. 'Elixir.ExAws.SNS':verify_message/1 fetches the signing certificate from the SigningCertURL field of the incoming SNS message without validating that the URL uses HTTPS or that the host matches an AWS-owned SNS certificate domain. An unauthenticated attacker who can POST to an endpoint that calls verify_message/1 can supply an attacker-controlled SigningCertURL, sign a forged SNS message with their own key, and cause the function to return :ok, completely bypassing SNS signature verification. This issue affects ex_aws_sns: from 2.0.1 before 2.3.5.

Summary

ex_aws_sns: Trusted-attacker `SigningCertURL` permits complete SNS signature bypass

Details

Summary

ExAws.SNS.verify_message/1 fetches the signing certificate from the SigningCertURL field of the incoming SNS message without validating that the URL uses HTTPS or that its host is an AWS-owned SNS certificate domain. An unauthenticated attacker who can POST to any endpoint that calls verify_message/1 can supply an attacker-controlled SigningCertURL, sign a forged SNS message with their own RSA key, and cause the function to return :ok, completely bypassing SNS signature verification.

Details

In lib/ex_aws/sns.ex (lines 475–483), verify_message/1 performs three checks: validate_message_params/1 (confirms required fields are present), validate_signature_version/1 (confirms SignatureVersion == "1"), then signature verification. The signature step calls ExAws.SNS.PublicKeyCache.get(message["SigningCertURL"]) and passes the result to :public_key.verify/4.

Neither validate_message_params/1 nor any other step checks that SigningCertURL is an HTTPS URL or that the hostname matches the expected pattern (e.g. sns.<region>.amazonaws.com). PublicKeyCache.get/1 in lib/ex_aws/sns/public_key_cache.ex fetches whatever URL is provided and caches the certificate. The RSA signature then verifies against the attacker's own public key, and verify_message/1 returns :ok.

PoC

Generate an RSA keypair and host the DER/PEM public certificate at any URL reachable from the target server (e.g. http://attacker.example/cert.pem).
Build a forged Notification payload with an arbitrary TopicArn and Message, compute the canonical string-to-sign per the SNS spec, and sign it with the attacker private key.
Set SigningCertURL to the attacker URL and Signature to the base64-encoded signature.
POST the forged payload to any SNS webhook endpoint that calls ExAws.SNS.verify_message/1.
The function returns :ok; the application treats the message as authentic.

Configurations

The application must expose an HTTP endpoint that calls ExAws.SNS.verify_message/1 on incoming request bodies (the standard SNS webhook pattern).

Impact

Complete SNS signature authentication bypass. Affects ex_aws_sns from 2.0.1 through 2.3.4. Consequences include spoofing arbitrary Notification payloads, auto-confirming attacker-controlled SubscribeURL values to hijack topic delivery, and spoofing UnsubscribeConfirmation to disrupt legitimate subscriptions. No authentication or special configuration on the attacker side is required. CVSS v4.0: 8.7 (HIGH).

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-26 21:57 – Updated: 2026-06-30 17:16

Summary

Hackney: Per-chunk timeout with unbounded body accumulation enables slow-drip OOM

Details

Summary

hackney_h3:await_response_loop/6 in src/hackney_h3.erl accumulates the HTTP/3 response body in memory without any size cap. The after Timeout clause is a per-message inactivity timer, not a wall-clock deadline: every received stream_data chunk, housekeeping select message, or settings frame resets it. A malicious HTTP/3 server that drips one small chunk every Timeout - 1 ms with Fin = false and never terminates the stream keeps the loop alive indefinitely while the accumulation buffer grows without bound, eventually exhausting the BEAM process heap.

Details

In src/hackney_h3.erl, await_response_loop/6 (line 430) builds the body with:

NewBody = <<AccBody/binary, Data/binary>>

There is no max_body check and no monotonic deadline. The after Timeout clause at line 463 is restarted on each loop iteration. A server that ensures at least one message arrives within Timeout ms indefinitely (one small chunk per interval is sufficient) prevents the timeout from firing while AccBody grows linearly. The same module's wait_connected/3 (lines 388-389) shows the correct pattern: track an absolute start time and pass a shrinking Remaining budget into each receive. This loop does not.

Configurations

Only the HTTP/3 transport is affected. Applications using the default TCP/TLS hackney transport are not vulnerable. The vulnerability requires using hackney_h3 directly or passing {transport, h3} to hackney:request/5.

PoC

Stand up an HTTP/3 server that responds with 200 OK headers (Fin = false), then emits a small stream_data chunk every Timeout - margin ms with Fin = false indefinitely.
Issue hackney:request(get, Url, [], <<>>, [{transport, h3}]) against it.
Watch the client process heap grow monotonically. The configured timeout never fires; the process is eventually killed by max_heap_size or the OS OOM killer.

Impact

Remote denial of service via unbounded memory consumption. Affects hackney 2.0.0 through 4.0.0 when using the HTTP/3 transport against an attacker-controlled or attacker-influenced server. Each affected request consumes unbounded memory until the BEAM is killed. CVSS v4.0: 8.2 (HIGH).
