Vulnerability in github.com/corazawaf/coraza/v3 (CVE-2026-41508)
Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/corazawaf/coraza/v3 (CVE-2026-41508). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via io.ErrUnexpectedEOF. Mitigation: upgrade to 3.8.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Root Cause
File: internal/bodyprocessors/multipart.go (since commit 3347961b, PR #1453 "feat: ignore unexpected EOF in MIME multipart request body processor", merged 2026-03-06, first shipped in v3.4.0).
The multipart body processor treats io.ErrUnexpectedEOF as a benign condition. Three sites are affected; all mishandle the error the same way.
File branch, filesystem-backed (lines 71–77)
sz, err := io.Copy(temp, p)
if err != nil {
if !errors.Is(err, io.ErrUnexpectedEOF) {
v.MultipartStrictError().(*collections.Single).Set("1")
return err
}
seenUnexpectedEOF = true // <-- flag never set for UnexpectedEOF
}
File branch, TinyGo path (lines 82–88)
sz, err := io.Copy(io.Discard, p)
if err != nil {
if !errors.Is(err, io.ErrUnexpectedEOF) {
v.MultipartStrictError().(*collections.Single).Set("1")
return err
}
seenUnexpectedEOF = true // <-- same gap
}
Field branch (lines 102–113)
data, err := io.ReadAll(p)
if err != nil {
if !errors.Is(err, io.ErrUnexpectedEOF) {
v.MultipartStrictError().(*collections.Single).Set("1")
return err
}
}
...
if errors.Is(err, io.ErrUnexpectedEOF) {
break // <-- exits loop with no flag set
}
The function then returns nil at line 116 for any body that ended prematurely. Consequences:
