CVE-2026-34608
nanomq: Heap-Buffer-Overflow in webhook_inproc.c via cJSON_Parse OOB Read
Description
NanoMQ MQTT Broker (NanoMQ) is an all-around Edge Messaging Platform. Prior to version 0.24.10, in NanoMQ's webhook_inproc.c, the hook_work_cb() function processes nng messages by parsing the message body with cJSON_Parse(body). The body is obtained from nng_msg_body(msg), which is a binary buffer without a guaranteed null terminator. This leads to an out-of-bounds read (OOB read) as cJSON_Parse reads until it finds a \0, potentially accessing memory beyond the allocated buffer (e.g., nng_msg metadata or adjacent heap/stack). The issue is often masked by nng's allocation padding (extra 32 bytes of zeros for non-power-of-two sizes <1024 or non-aligned). The overflow is reliably triggered when the JSON payload length is a power-of-two >=1024 (no padding added). This issue has been patched in version 0.24.10.
