An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-6193 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- quiche (crates.io): affected from 0.15.0; fixed in 0.19.1\n- quiche (crates.io): affected from 0.15.0; fixed in 0.19.1\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-2023-6193/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6193/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-6193","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6193/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-6193","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w3vp-jw9m-f9pm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"QUIC protocol library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause excessive resource consumption and denial of service by exploiting unbounded queuing of path validation messages in the quiche library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cloudflare","cpe":[{"product":"quiche","vendor":"cloudflare"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"quiche v. 0.15.0 through 0.19.0 was discovered to be vulnerable to unbounded queuing of path validation messages, which could lead to excessive resource consumption.\nQUIC path validation (RFC 9000 Section 8.2) requires that the recipient of a PATH_CHALLENGE frame responds by sending a PATH_RESPONSE. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the vulnerability by sending PATH_CHALLENGE frames and manipulating the connection (e.g. by restricting the peer's congestion window size) so that PATH_RESPONSE frames can only be sent at the slower rate than they are received; leading to storage of path validation data in an unbounded queue. \nQuiche versions greater than 0.19.0 address this problem.","ecosystems":["crates.io"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Unbounded queuing of path validation messages in cloudflare-quiche","id":"CVE-2023-6193","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"crates.io","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"XML external entity in Eclipse Memory Analyzer (tools.mat)","id":"CVE-2023-6194"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["0.19.1"],"introduced":["0.15.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"quiche","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-w3vp-jw9m-f9pm"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["0.19.1"],"introduced":["0.15.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"quiche","purl":"pkg:cargo/quiche","source":"GHSA-w3vp-jw9m-f9pm"}],"prev":{"headline":"SQLi in WebPDKS","id":"CVE-2023-6191"},"products":["quiche"],"published":"2023-12-12","related":[{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Infinite loop triggered by connection ID retirement","id":"CVE-2025-7054","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-07"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Resource exhaustion in quiche HTTP/3 and QPACK layers","id":"CVE-2026-12523","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Incorrect congestion window growth by invalid ACK ranges","id":"CVE-2025-4821","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-18"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Unlimited resource allocation by QUIC CRYPTO frames flooding in quiche","id":"CVE-2024-1765","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-12"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Incorrect congestion window growth by optimistic ACK","id":"CVE-2025-4820","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-18"},{"cvss_score":3.7,"headline":"Unbounded storage of information related to connection ID retirement, in quiche","id":"CVE-2024-1410","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-12"}],"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":"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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-02","vendors":["Cloudflare"]},"summary":"An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause excessive resource consumption and denial of service by exploiting unbounded queuing of path validation messages in the quiche library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6193/"}
