Summary

Pocketbase: Unhandled panic in worker goroutines

Details

PocketBase already has builtin panic-recover middleware for the regular requests handling but it doesn't cover panics in internal child/worker goroutines which in some situations could cause termination of the server process.

To prevent this from hapenning all existing internal worker functions were wrapped with the new helper routine.SafeWrap(f) (auto recovers and returns any eventual panic as regular error).

The vulnerability was reported by @gigioneggiando and it is strongly recommended to upgrade to PocketBase v0.39.7 (the fix was also backported in v0.22.48 in case you are using older PocketBase < v0.23.0).

Severity

8.7 (High)

CVE-2026-82410 (GCVE-0-2026-82410)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-09-16 14:59 – Updated: 2026-09-16 15:15

Title

Pocketbase: Unhandled panic in worker goroutines

Summary

Pocketbase is an open source web backend written in go. Prior to 0.22.48 and 0.39.7, PocketBase's panic-recovery middleware covers regular request handling but not internal child and worker goroutines. A panic in one of these internal goroutines can escape recovery and terminate the server process, causing a denial of service. The remediation introduces routine.SafeWrap to convert recovered panics into regular errors and applies it to the affected internal worker functions. This issue is fixed in versions 0.22.48 and 0.39.7.

Severity
