CVE-2024-24786

A flaw was found in golang-protobuf. The protojson unmarshaling function can enter an infinite loop when parsing certain invalid JSON inputs, specifically when decoding messages containing Any values or when configured to discard unknown fields. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by submitting specially crafted JSON payloads to cause excessive CPU utilization and hang the application, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
