CVE-2026-48853 (GCVE-0-2026-48853)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-06-15 21:56 – Updated: 2026-09-24 21:08

Title

Remote code execution and denial of service via unsafe Erlang term deserialization in elixir-grpc/grpc

Summary

Deserialization of Untrusted Data and Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerabilities in elixir-grpc grpc allow unauthenticated attackers to crash the BEAM node via atom table exhaustion and, when a decoded term flows into a call site that invokes it, achieve remote code execution on the server. 'Elixir.GRPC.Codec.Erlpack':decode/2 (lib/grpc/codec/erlpack.ex) calls :erlang.binary_to_term/1 on the raw gRPC message body without the :safe option, no size bound, and no type guard. Any unauthenticated peer that sends a request with Content-Type: application/grpc+erlpack can send a crafted payload that mints arbitrary new atoms (which are never garbage-collected, exhausting the bounded atom table and crashing the VM) or that encodes a fun term which, if applied anywhere downstream, executes attacker-controlled code inside the server process. This issue affects grpc: from 0.4.0 before 1.0.0.

GHSA-GRP7-V8XH-RJ7H

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-25 18:09 – Updated: 2026-08-25 18:09

Summary

gRPC Erlang package vulnerable to Remote Code Execution with attacker-controlled gRPC payloads

Details

Summary

GRPC.Codec.Erlpack.decode/2 calls :erlang.binary_to_term/1 directly on the raw gRPC message body without the :safe option. Any unauthenticated peer that can reach a gRPC endpoint with Content-Type: application/grpc+erlpack can crash the entire BEAM node via atom table exhaustion or, if a decoded fun term flows into a call site that invokes it, achieve remote code execution inside the server process.

Details

Root cause — lib/grpc/codec/erlpack.ex implements decode/2 as a bare :erlang.binary_to_term(binary) call with no :safe flag, no size limit, and no type validation. This has two independent exploitation paths:

1. DoS via atom exhaustion — BEAM atoms are never garbage-collected and the global atom table is bounded (~1,048,576 entries). A crafted payload encoding large numbers of fresh atoms saturates the table and crashes the entire VM, taking down all applications on the node.

2. RCE via fun materialization — Without :safe, binary_to_term/1 reconstructs fun and external-fun terms from wire data. If the decoded value reaches any call site that applies it (e.g. Enum.map, Task.async, direct invocation), attacker-controlled code executes inside the server process.

Configuration requirement: GRPC.Codec.Erlpack is not registered by default and must be explicitly added to the server's codecs option.

PoC

Start a gRPC server with codecs: [GRPC.Codec.Erlpack].
Open an HTTP/2 connection to the server.
Send a gRPC-framed POST to any RPC path with Content-Type: application/grpc+erlpack and a body of :erlang.term_to_binary(fn -> <malicious_code> end).
The server's decode/2 materializes the fun; any downstream call site that invokes the decoded value executes the attacker's code.
For DoS only: send payloads encoding fresh atoms in a loop until the atom table is exhausted and the VM crashes.

Impact

Affects grpc ≥ 0.4.0. Any server that explicitly registers GRPC.Codec.Erlpack is vulnerable to unauthenticated node-level DoS and potentially RCE.

RCE via fun materialization** \u2014 Without `:safe`, `binary_to_term/1` reconstructs fun and external-fun terms from wire data. If the decoded value reaches any call site that applies it (e.g. `Enum.map`, `Task.async`, direct invocation), attacker-controlled code executes inside the server process.\n\n**Configuration requirement:** `GRPC.Codec.Erlpack` is not registered by default and must be explicitly added to the server\u0027s `codecs` option.\n\n### PoC\n\n1. Start a gRPC server with `codecs: [GRPC.Codec.Erlpack]`.\n2. Open an HTTP/2 connection to the server.\n3. Send a gRPC-framed POST to any RPC path with `Content-Type: application/grpc+erlpack` and a body of `:erlang.term_to_binary(fn -\u003e \u003cmalicious_code\u003e end)`.\n4. The server\u0027s `decode/2` materializes the fun; any downstream call site that invokes the decoded value executes the attacker\u0027s code.\n5. For DoS only: send payloads encoding fresh atoms in a loop until the atom table is exhausted and the VM crashes.\n\n### Impact\n\nAffects `grpc` \u2265 0.4.0. Any server that explicitly registers `GRPC.Codec.Erlpack` is vulnerable to unauthenticated node-level DoS and potentially RCE.\n\n### References\n\n* Introduction commit: https://github.com/elixir-grpc/grpc/commit/25bcc569fe2cc4478531a6c546c923205fc751c9\n* Patch commit: https://github.com/elixir-grpc/grpc/commit/272a97a5ea1b46af1819f14a831fcf35fc91f992",

  "details": "Deserialization of Untrusted Data and Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerabilities in elixir-grpc grpc allow unauthenticated attackers to crash the BEAM node via atom table exhaustion and, when a decoded term flows into a call site that invokes it, achieve remote code execution on the server. \u0027Elixir.GRPC.Codec.Erlpack\u0027:decode/2 (lib/grpc/codec/erlpack.ex) calls :erlang.binary_to_term/1 on the raw gRPC message body without the :safe option, no size bound, and no type guard. Any unauthenticated peer that sends a request with Content-Type: application/grpc+erlpack can send a crafted payload that mints arbitrary new atoms (which are never garbage-collected, exhausting the bounded atom table and crashing the VM) or that encodes a fun term which, if applied anywhere downstream, executes attacker-controlled code inside the server process. This issue affects grpc: from 0.4.0 before 1.0.0.",

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
