Attackers can execute remote commands using the extra_options parameter..\n\nAffected scenarios: Use the built-in bRPC heap profiler service to perform jemalloc memory profiling.\n\nHow to Fix: we provide two methods, you can choose one of them:\n\n1. Upgrade bRPC to version 1.15.0.\n2. Apply this patch ( https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3101 ) manually.","published":"2026-01-16T09:16:03.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T09:49:14.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"security@apache.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-77"],"affected":["apache/brpc"],"epss":{"score":0.25519,"percentile":0.97952,"date":"2026-10-30","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 25.5%, higher than 98% of all known CVEs.
