An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-38976 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/weaviate/weaviate (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 1.18.6, 1.19.13, 1.20.6\n- github.com/weaviate/weaviate (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 1.18.6\n- github.com/weaviate/weaviate (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 1.18.6\n- github.com/weaviate/weaviate (Go): affected from 1.19.0; fixed in 1.19.13\n- github.com/weaviate/weaviate (Go): affected from 1.19.0; fixed in 1.19.13\n- github.com/weaviate/weaviate (Go): affected from 1.20.0; fixed in 1.20.6\n- github.com/weaviate/weaviate (Go): affected from 1.20.0; fixed in 1.20.6\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38976/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38976/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-38976","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38976/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-38976","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8697-479h-5mfp","GO-2023-2017"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Vector database","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote attacker can cause a denial of service in Weaviate via the handleUnbatchedGraphQLRequest function.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"weaviate","vendor":"weaviate"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-617","name":"Reachable Assertion"}],"description":"An issue in weaviate v.1.20.0 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the handleUnbatchedGraphQLRequest function.","ecosystems":["Go"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Weaviate denial of service vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-38976","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Go","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":7,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-38988"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.18.6","1.19.13","1.20.6"],"introduced":["0","1.19.0","1.20.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/weaviate/weaviate","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/weaviate/weaviate","source":"GO-2023-2017"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.18.6"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/weaviate/weaviate","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-8697-479h-5mfp"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.18.6"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/weaviate/weaviate","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/weaviate/weaviate","source":"GHSA-8697-479h-5mfp"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.19.13"],"introduced":["1.19.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/weaviate/weaviate","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-8697-479h-5mfp"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.19.13"],"introduced":["1.19.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/weaviate/weaviate","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/weaviate/weaviate","source":"GHSA-8697-479h-5mfp"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.20.6"],"introduced":["1.20.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/weaviate/weaviate","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-8697-479h-5mfp"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["1.20.6"],"introduced":["1.20.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/weaviate/weaviate","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/weaviate/weaviate","source":"GHSA-8697-479h-5mfp"}],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-38975"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-08-21","related":[{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Weaviate \u003c 1.38.0 - Privilege Escalation via Unchecked Permissions in RBAC Role Assignment","id":"CVE-2026-59093","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-02"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Weaviate OSS has a Path Traversal Vulnerability via Backup ZipSlip","id":"CVE-2025-67818","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-12"},{"cvss_score":4.9,"headline":"Weaviate OSS has path traversal vulnerability via the Shard Movement API","id":"CVE-2025-67819","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Go Vulnerability Database","prefix":"GO"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A remote attacker can cause a denial of service in Weaviate via the handleUnbatchedGraphQLRequest function.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38976/"}
