An invalid incoming HTTP/2 stream initiation can cause a server process to crash. This vulnerability affects all servers created using @grpc/grpc-js, and no workaround is available. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service by sending a malformed HTTP/2 stream to a gRPC server. ## Vendor advisories - **RHSA-2026:57590** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extensions Channel (v. 10) · released 2026-08-20 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:57590) - **RHSA-2026:50850** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.1 · released 2026-08-05 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:50850) - **RHSA-2026:50839** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.2 · released 2026-08-05 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:50839) - **RHSA-2026:51162** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.2 · released 2026-08-06 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:51162) - **RHSA-2026:48126** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Developer Hub 1.10 · released 2026-07-29 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:48126) - **RHSA-2026:49642** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Developer Hub 1.10 · released 2026-08-03 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:49642) - **RHSA-2026:52768** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Developer Hub 1.9 · released 2026-08-10 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:52768) - **RHSA-2026:62260** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces 3.30 · released 2026-09-01 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:62260) - **Red Hat VEX** · Important · affected: Red Hat Build of Podman Desktop, Red Hat Developer Hub, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI) 3, Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces, Self-service automation portal 2 · no fix planned: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI) 3, Red Hat Build of Podman Desktop, Red Hat Developer Hub, Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces, … · updated 2026-10-06 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-48068.json) **grpc-js: @grpc/grpc-js: Server crash via malformed HTTP/2 stream initiation** — rated Important by Red Hat.
