CVE-2026-44294— protobufjs: Denial of service from crafted field names in generated code
Quick assessment
Affected
protobufjs protobuf.js
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.
protobuf.js是The protobuf.js Project开源的一个纯 JavaScript 实现，具有对node.js和浏览器的TypeScript支持的协议缓冲区实现。它易于使用，速度极快，并且通过.proto文件可以开箱即用！ protobuf.js 7.5.6之前版本和8.0.2之前版本存在输入验证错误漏洞，该漏洞源于生成的JavaScript属性访问器未转义字段名中的控制字符，可能导致生成的编码、解码、验证或转换函数编译失败。

Vulnerability Title
protobufjs: Denial of service from crafted field names in generated code
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
protobufjs compiles protobuf definitions into JavaScript (JS) functions. Prior to 7.5.6 and 8.0.2, protobufjs generated JavaScript property accessors from schema-controlled field and oneof names. Certain control characters in field names were not escaped before being embedded into generated function bodies. A crafted schema or JSON descriptor could therefore cause generated encode, decode, verify, or conversion functions to fail during compilation. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.5.6 and 8.0.2.
