## What is CVE-2026-82410?

CVE-2026-82410 is a high-severity denial of service vulnerability in pocketbase, published on 16 Sep 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Pocketbase is an open source web backend written in go. Prior to 0.22.48 and 0.39.7, PocketBase's panic-recovery middleware covers regular request handling but not internal child and worker goroutines. A panic in one of these internal goroutines can escape recovery and terminate the server process, causing a denial of service. The remediation introduces routine.SafeWrap to convert recovered panics into regular errors and applies it to the affected internal worker functions. This issue is fixed in versions 0.22.48 and 0.39.7.

Weakness: CWE-248 (Uncaught Exception)

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
