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-2025-53605 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- protobuf (crates.io): affected all versions; fixed in 3.7.2\n- protobuf (crates.io): affected all versions; fixed in 3.7.2\n- protobuf (crates.io): affected from 0.0.0-0; fixed in 3.7.2\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-2025-53605/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53605/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-53605","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53605/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-53605","record":{"aliases":["AZL-65556","AZL-65565","AZL-65568","AZL-65574","AZL-65577","AZL-65592","CLEANSTART-2026-GS01366","CLEANSTART-2026-WA77545","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-53605","GHSA-2gh3-rmm4-6rq5","MINI-5p8x-w23h-rj92","MINI-h8qq-v8fx-x93f","MINI-rfxv-cg4h-jpqq","MINI-v4v8-3rh5-rg6v","MINI-vg47-ff7p-rwqm","RUSTSEC-2024-0437","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-53605"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Rust protobuf library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service via uncontrolled recursion in the Rust protobuf library when parsing unknown fields from untrusted input.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-674","name":"Uncontrolled Recursion"}],"description":"The protobuf crate before 3.7.2 for Rust allows uncontrolled recursion in the protobuf::coded_input_stream::CodedInputStream::skip_group parsing of unknown fields in untrusted input.","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":"Crash due to uncontrolled recursion in protobuf crate","id":"CVE-2025-53605","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"crates.io","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Apache Seata (incubating): Deserialization of untrusted Data in Apache Seata Server","id":"CVE-2025-53606"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["3.7.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"protobuf","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-2gh3-rmm4-6rq5"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["3.7.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"protobuf","purl":"pkg:cargo/protobuf","source":"GHSA-2gh3-rmm4-6rq5"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["3.7.2"],"introduced":["0.0.0-0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"protobuf","purl":"pkg:cargo/protobuf","source":"RUSTSEC-2024-0437"}],"prev":{"headline":"Rust Web Push is vulnerable to a DoS attack via a large integer in a Content-Length header","id":"CVE-2025-53604"},"products":["protobuf"],"published":"2025-07-05","related":[],"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":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"RustSec","prefix":"RUSTSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-07-08","vendors":["stepancheg"]},"summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service via uncontrolled recursion in the Rust protobuf library when parsing unknown fields from untrusted input.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53605/"}
