OliveTin: Unauthenticated DoS via OAuth2 State Memory Exhaustion (Unbounded Map Growth)
CVE-2026-67437GHSA-xpxj-f2fm-rqch
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (github.com/OliveTin/OliveTin 0.0.0-20260708075951-ec114e95d297), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
Summary OliveTin's OAuth2 login handler stores per-login state in an in-memory map (registeredStates) that grows unboundedly. States are added on every /oauth/login request but are never deleted or expired. An unauthenticated attacker can send millions of requests to /oauth/login to fill the map with state entries, exhausting server memory and causing a denial of service. This is distinct from CVE-2026-28789 (concurrent map writes crash). That CVE was about the panic from unsynchronized map access — the fix added a sync.RWMutex. This vulnerability is about the unbounded growth of the map even WITH the mutex, as no cleanup mechanism exists. Affected Versions - All versions with OAuth2 support, including = 3000.10.3 (which patched CVE-2026-28789) Details In service/internal/auth/otoauth2/restapiauthoauth2.go: The HandleOAuthLogin handler adds a new state on every request: The HandleOAuthCallback handler updates existing states but never removes them: There is no TTL, no expiry check,…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-67437 Advisory: OliveTin: Unauthenticated DoS via OAuth2 State Memory Exhaustion (Unbounded Map Growth) IDs: CVE-2026-67437, GHSA-xpxj-f2fm-rqch Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-67437 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:27 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: High (CVSS 7.5) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: github.com/OliveTin/OliveTin 0.0.0-20260708075951-ec114e95d297. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Go github.com/OliveTin/OliveTin: affected >= 0.0.0-20251024001301-45f9c18bc3ee, < 0.0.0-20260708075951-ec114e95d297; fixed in 0.0.0-20260708075951-ec114e95d297 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Go github.com/OliveTin/OliveTin: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on github.com/OliveTin/OliveTin. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-6146 (OSV record GO-2026-6146 lists affected ranges: Go github.com/OliveTin/OliveTin >=0.0.0-20251024001301-45f9c18bc3ee <0.0.0-20260708075951-ec114e95d297 (fixed)) - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-xpxj-f2fm-rqch (OSV record GHSA-xpxj-f2fm-rqch lists affected ranges: Go github.com/OliveTin/OliveTin >=0.0.0-20251024001301-45f9c18bc3ee <0.0.0-20260708075951-ec114e95d297 (fixed)) - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xpxj-f2fm-rqch (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-xpxj-f2fm-rqch lists affected ranges: Go github.com/OliveTin/OliveTin >=0.0.0-20251024001301-45f9c18bc3ee <0.0.0-20260708075951-ec114e95d297) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
