Description
CVE-2026-128065 is an incorrect authorization vulnerability in grpc-node's @grpc/grpc-js library versions 1.14.0 and 1.14.1. The issue occurs when the XdsServer component fails to properly apply RBACPerRoute override configurations, causing RPC requests to be evaluated under a broad ALLOW policy instead of stricter overrides. This can lead to acceptance of requests that should be denied. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.14.2.
