CVE-2026-34150 Details
Description
Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. In versions 1.0.0 and above, prior to 4.14.5, a heap buffer overflow in wazuh-analysisd allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the Wazuh manager's analysis engine, causing complete loss of SIEM alert processing. The attack exploits the default configuration shipped in the official wazuh/wazuh-docker deployment with default configuration. An attacker can enroll with authd without a password to obtain a valid agent ID and encryption key, connect to remoted over the Wazuh agent protocol, and inject rootcheck events containing {key: value} patterns longer than 30 bytes that trigger a sprintf overflow of a 30-byte buffer in W_JSON_ParseRootcheck, corrupting the heap and crashing wazuh-analysisd so that all alert processing silently stops while the dashboard and API keep showing stale data.
A heap buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the Wazuh analysis daemon (wazuh-analysisd) in versions 1.0.0 and above, prior to 4.14.5. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the Wazuh manager's analysis engine, leading to a complete disruption of SIEM alert processing. The issue arises in the default configuration of Wazuh when deployed using Docker. Exploitation involves enrolling an agent without a password to obtain a valid agent ID and encryption key, then sending crafted rootcheck events that exceed 30 bytes, causing a heap corruption that crashes the analysis daemon.
Users can update to Wazuh version 4.14.5 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. Alternatively, as a temporary measure, the Wazuh configuration file can be modified to require passwords for agent enrollment.
