Null Pointer Dereference
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

In open62541 v1.5.5, the server-side AddReferences implementation contains an incomplete validation flaw for non-local ExpandedNodeId targets. A remote attacker can send a crafted AddReferencesRequest with an empty targetServerUri and a non-zero targetNodeId.serverIndex, causing the target node pointer to remain NULL while execution continues.

Integer Underflow
AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

An unsigned integer underflow in the PubSub signature verification path in open62541 may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted UDP packet.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust server memory via the FindServers Discovery Service in open62541. The serverUris field of FindServersRequest is not validated for length or array size. An attacker can declare an arbitrarily large string (up to ~3.9 GB) delivered across intermediate chunks without ever sending the final chunk. The server buffers all chunks in RAM indefinitely until the SecureChannel times out. The attack is pre-session and bypasses all encryption configuration. The issue affects open62541: from 1.4.0 through 1.4.16, from 1.5.0 through 1.5.4, master.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust server memory via the GetEndpoints Discovery Service in open62541. The endpointUrl field of GetEndpointsRequest is not validated for length. An attacker can declare an arbitrarily large string (up to ~4.09 GB via the UInt32 length field) delivered across intermediate chunks without ever sending the final chunk. The server buffers all chunks in RAM indefinitely until the SecureChannel times out. The attack is pre-session and bypasses all encryption configurations.

The issue affects open62541: from 1.4.0 through 1.4.16, from 1.5.0 through 1.5.4, master.

Buffer Overflow
AC:L/AV:N/A:H/C:N/I:N/PR:N/S:U/UI:N

Buffer Overflow vulnerability exists in open62541 1.5.5 when the Local Discovery Server (LDS) is built with multicast discovery enabled through the MDNSD backend. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a RegisterServer or RegisterServer2 request containing many unique discoveryUrls. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

Use After Free
AC:L/AV:N/A:H/C:N/I:N/PR:N/S:U/UI:N

In open62541 1.5.5, a server-side use-after-free exists in the local MonitoredItem callback path. The issue occurs when UASubscriptionlocalPublish continues to use the current UANotification after a callback invokes UAServerdeleteMonitoredItem for the current local MonitoredItem. This allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
