CVE-2026-101914 Details
Description
@grpc/grpc-js implements the core functionality of gRPC purely in JavaScript, without a C++ addon. Prior to 1.13.1 and 1.14.1, the exact path (method name) matcher used by RBAC performs a prefix comparison instead of an equality comparison when case-insensitive matching is enabled. If one service method name prefixes another and the methods have different access rules, a request for the longer method can match the shorter method's rule and cause incorrect authorization. This issue is fixed in versions 1.13.1 and 1.14.1.
A vulnerability in the @grpc/grpc-js library, specifically in versions prior to 1.13.1 and 1.14.0, allows for incorrect authorization when using role-based access control (RBAC) with case-insensitive method name matching. The issue arises because the exact path matcher mistakenly applies a prefix match instead of an exact match when case insensitivity is enabled. This can lead to a request for a method with a longer name matching the access rules of a shorter, prefixing method, causing improper authorization.
Users can upgrade to @grpc/grpc-js versions 1.13.1 or 1.14.1 to address this vulnerability. Instructions for downloading these versions are available on the GitHub releases page for the @grpc/grpc-js-xds package.
