Vulnerability in github.com/klever-io/klever-go (CVE-2026-49343)
Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/klever-io/klever-go (CVE-2026-49343). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via NumGoRoutinesThrottler. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.7.18 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
The account-data trie syncers leak bounded throttler slots on error paths in syncDataTrie(). Each failed trie sync permanently consumes one slot from
the NumGoRoutinesThrottler, and the slot is never returned unless the sync succeeds or the root hash was already present.
I confirmed this on the current default branch develop at commit 9640d63 (observed on May 20, 2026). I also confirmed the bug with a runtime PoC
using the real timeout path in trieSyncer.StartSyncing(): two timed-out sync attempts are enough to exhaust a throttler with capacity 2.
This affects the epoch bootstrap path because syncUserAccountsState() and syncKappAccountsState() create bounded throttlers and abort bootstrap
immediately if the syncer returns an error. Once enough trie-root sync attempts fail, the syncer cannot make forward progress and bootstrap fails.

Vulnerability Details
Root Cause
Both account-data syncers call StartProcessing() before creating / starting the trie syncer, but they only call EndProcessing() on the success path
