GHSA-8p57-jxj9-3qq3: nanomq: Heap-Buffer-Overflow in webhook_inproc.c via cJSON_Parse OOB Read

Published Apr 2, 2026

Updated

NanoMQ MQTT Broker (NanoMQ) is an all-around Edge Messaging Platform. Prior to version 0.24.10, in NanoMQ's webhookinproc.c, the hookworkcb() function processes nng messages by parsing the message body with cJSONParse(body). The body is obtained from nngmsgbody(msg), which is a binary buffer without a guaranteed null terminator. This leads to an out-of-bounds read (OOB read) as cJSONParse reads until it finds a \0, potentially accessing memory beyond the allocated buffer (e.g., nngmsg metadata or adjacent heap/stack). The issue is often masked by nng's allocation padding (extra 32 bytes of zeros for non-power-of-two sizes <1024 or non-aligned). The overflow is reliably triggered when the JSON payload length is a power-of-two >=1024 (no padding added). This issue has been patched in version 0.24.10.
