Vulnerability in github.com/klever-io/klever-go (CVE-2026-82409)
Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/klever-io/klever-go (CVE-2026-82409). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via serializedDataForUpdateAccounts. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.7.20 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Component: Elasticsearch indexer (indexer/)
Primary location: indexer/common.go:2395-2407 (serializedDataForUpdateAccounts)
Entry point: SetAccountName native transaction (contract type 12) — core/process/transaction/txProcess.go:688
Description
When the node indexes account updates to Elasticsearch, it builds the ES _bulk painless-script line by splicing the account's name directly into JSON with fmt.Sprintf("%s", ...) and no escaping:
// indexer/common.go:2395-2407 (serializedDataForUpdateAccounts)
serializedData := []byte(fmt.Sprintf(`{"script":{"source":"`+
`ctx._source.name = params.name; ... `+
`","lang": "painless","params":`+
`{"name": "%s", "nonce": %d, "rootHash": "%s", "balance": %d, ...}}}`,
acc.Name, acc.Nonce, acc.RootHash, acc.Balance, ...)) // acc.Name is RAW
acc.Name originates from on-chain account state: indexer/accountInfo.go:31 sets Name: string(userAccount.GetName()). An account name is fully attacker-controlled and only weakly validated when it is set on-chain by the SetAccountName handler:
// core/kapp/accounts/accounts.go:1740
if !utf8.Valid(tc.GetName()) || len(tc.GetName()) > core.MaxNameSize { ... } // MaxNameSize = 100
The only constraints are valid UTF-8 and length ≤ 100 bytes. Double-quote ("), backslash (\), and newline (\n) are all valid UTF-8 and are not rejected. The safe helper converters.JsonEscape() exists and is used for `_…
