NanoMQ MQTT Broker (NanoMQ) is an all-around Edge Messaging Platform. Prior to version 0.24.8, NanoMQ’s MQTT-over-WebSocket transport can be crashed by sending an MQTT packet with a deliberately large Remaining Length in the fixed header while providing a much shorter actual payload. The code path copies Remaining Length bytes without verifying that the current receive buffer contains that many bytes, resulting in an out-of-bounds read (ASAN reports OOB / crash). This is remotely triggerable over the WebSocket listener. This issue has been patched in version 0.24.8.
AnalysisAI
NanoMQ MQTT Broker versions prior to 0.24.8 can be remotely crashed via MQTT-over-WebSocket by sending a packet with a maliciously inflated Remaining Length field in the fixed header while providing a shorter actual payload, triggering an out-of-bounds read that causes denial of service. Authenticated attackers can exploit this condition over the WebSocket listener with low attack complexity. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Risk Assessment | This vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, indicating network-accessible remote denial of service requiring authenticated access with low attack complexity. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated attacker connected to a NanoMQ broker's WebSocket listener constructs a malformed MQTT CONNECT or other control packet where the Remaining Length field in the fixed header specifies an artificially large value (e.g., 65535 bytes) while the actual WebSocket frame payload contains significantly fewer bytes. When the broker's WebSocket handler attempts to copy the number of bytes indicated by Remaining Length into its buffer without bounds validation, it reads beyond the available data, triggering an out-of-bounds memory access that crashes the broker process. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch available: Upgrade NanoMQ to version 0.24.8 or later immediately. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
