AI-suggested

A fix is available in grpc-go version 1.79.3 and later. Users should upgrade to this or later versions to remediate the vulnerability. For environments where immediate upgrade is not possible, implement infrastructure-level normalization of the HTTP/2 :path pseudo-header to ensure it includes the mandatory leading slash before reaching the grpc-go server. This can be done by configuring a reverse proxy or API gateway to validate and normalize incoming requests. Ensure any such intermediary is properly configured and restarted to apply changes. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform users should upgrade to the 4.13.67 release or later when available. No other vendor-provided fixes or mitigations are noted. Patch status is confirmed by Red Hat advisories.

Description

A service for building customized OS artifacts, such as VM images and OSTree commits, that uses osbuild under the hood. Besides building images for local usage, it can also upload images directly to cloud. It is compatible with composer-cli and cockpit-composer clients. Security Fix(es): * google.golang.org/grpc/grpc-go: google.golang.org/grpc/authz: gRPC-Go: Authorization bypass due to improper HTTP/2 path validation (CVE-2026-33186) * golang.org/x/net/idna: golang: net/http: golang.org/x/net/idna: Privilege escalation via incorrect Punycode label processing (CVE-2026-39821) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
