3Description
NanoMQ MQTT Broker (NanoMQ) is an all-around Edge Messaging Platform. In NanoMQ version 0.24.6, after enabling auth.http_auth (HTTP authentication), when a client connects to the broker using MQTT CONNECT without providing username/password, and the configuration params uses the placeholders %u / %P (e.g., username="%u", password="%P"), the HTTP request construction phase enters auth_http.c:set_data(). This results in calling strlen() on a NULL pointer, causing a SIGSEGV crash. This crash can be triggered remotely, resulting in a denial of service. This issue has been patched in version 0.24.7.
Analysis
Remote denial of service in NanoMQ MQTT Broker 0.24.6 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the broker by connecting without credentials when HTTP authentication is enabled with username/password placeholders, triggering a null pointer dereference in the auth_http.c module. The vulnerability requires high attack complexity (user interaction via specific MQTT CONNECT configuration) but results in broker unavailability. …
