DescriptionCVE.org

grpc-gateway v2.28.0 is vulnerable to Incorrect Access Control. The application processes the X-HTTP-Method-Override header in ServeMux.ServeHTTP without restricting allowed methods. When a POST request with Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded includes this header, the request method is rewritten to an arbitrary attacker-supplied value before routing. This allows bypassing method-based access controls enforced by upstream proxies or WAFs.

AnalysisAI

HTTP method confusion in grpc-ecosystem's grpc-gateway v2.28.0 lets remote clients bypass method-based access controls enforced by an upstream WAF or reverse proxy. The ServeMux honors a client-supplied X-HTTP-Method-Override header on POST requests carrying Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded, rewriting the request method to any attacker-chosen verb (e.g. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the gateway to sit behind an upstream WAF or reverse proxy that enforces method-based access controls, and requires the request to be a POST with Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded so the path-length-fallback branch that reads X-HTTP-Method-Override is entered; the target verb's handler must also exist and be routable in the gateway. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The input CVSS of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:H/I:H/A:H) overstates real-world risk: the vulnerability only yields a security benefit to the attacker when an upstream WAF or reverse proxy is actually enforcing method-based access controls in front of the gateway, which is a specific deployment condition rather than a default one, arguing for AC:H and impacts well below C:H/I:H/A:H. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Update to a grpc-gateway release that includes fix commit 72123cd4f32545f6e1376873f412dcdcbcf29acc (the patched version tag was not asserted in the structured feed - confirm the exact release from the repository tags before pinning). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all systems running grpc-gateway v2.28.0 and review access logs for X-HTTP-Method-Override header patterns or anomalous method sequences. …
