CVE-2026-65652: CWE-129: Improper Validation of Array Index in Temporal Technologies, Inc. temporalio/tchannel-go
github.com/temporalio/tchannel-go did not validate the one-byte checksum-type field in inbound TChannel call frames. A network peer that can reach a listener can complete the standard initialization handshake and send a call request with an unsupported checksum type. The parser uses that value as an index into a four-entry checksum pool, causing an unrecovered Go panic on the connection read goroutine and terminating the hosting process. This allows remote denial of service against applications that expose the listener to untrusted peers. The impact is limited to availability; no confidentiality or integrity impact was identified.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The temporalio/tchannel-go library did not validate the checksum-type field in inbound TChannel call frames. A remote attacker who can reach the listener can complete the handshake and send a call request with an unsupported checksum type. The parser uses this unchecked value as an index into a fixed-size checksum pool, causing an unrecovered Go panic on the connection read goroutine, which terminates the hosting process. This results in a remote denial of service against applications exposing the listener to untrusted peers. The vulnerability is tracked as CWE-129 (Improper Validation of Array Index).
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by crashing the hosting process. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. The availability of affected applications is at risk if exposed to untrusted network peers.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict network access to the listener to trusted peers only to reduce exposure to untrusted attackers.
