CVE-2025-4565 1 Google 1 Protobuf-python 2025-08-14 5.3 Medium
Any project that uses Protobuf Pure-Python backend to parse untrusted Protocol Buffers data containing an arbitrary number of recursive groups, recursive messages or a series of SGROUP tags can be corrupted by exceeding the Python recursion limit. This can result in a Denial of service by crashing the application with a RecursionError. We recommend upgrading to version =>6.31.1 or beyond commit 17838beda2943d08b8a9d4df5b68f5f04f26d901
CVE-2024-7254 3 Google, Netapp, Redhat 15 Google-protobuf, Protobuf, Protobuf-java and 12 more 2025-08-13 7.5 High
Any project that parses untrusted Protocol Buffers data containing an arbitrary number of nested groups / series of SGROUP tags can corrupted by exceeding the stack limit i.e. StackOverflow. Parsing nested groups as unknown fields with DiscardUnknownFieldsParser or Java Protobuf Lite parser, or against Protobuf map fields, creates unbounded recursions that can be abused by an attacker.
CVE-2024-2410 1 Google 1 Protobuf 2025-07-22 7.6 High
The JsonToBinaryStream() function is part of the protocol buffers C++ implementation and is used to parse JSON from a stream. If the input is broken up into separate chunks in a certain way, the parser will attempt to read bytes from a chunk that has already been freed. 
CVE-2022-3510 2 Google, Redhat 5 Protobuf-java, Protobuf-javalite, Jboss Enterprise Bpms Platform and 2 more 2025-04-22 7.5 High
A parsing issue similar to CVE-2022-3171, but with Message-Type Extensions in protobuf-java core and lite versions prior to 3.21.7, 3.20.3, 3.19.6 and 3.16.3 can lead to a denial of service attack. Inputs containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields causes objects to be converted back-n-forth between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses. We recommend updating to the versions mentioned above.
CVE-2022-3509 2 Google, Redhat 5 Protobuf-java, Protobuf-javalite, Jboss Enterprise Bpms Platform and 2 more 2025-04-22 7.5 High
A parsing issue similar to CVE-2022-3171, but with textformat in protobuf-java core and lite versions prior to 3.21.7, 3.20.3, 3.19.6 and 3.16.3 can lead to a denial of service attack. Inputs containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields causes objects to be converted back-n-forth between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses. We recommend updating to the versions mentioned above.
CVE-2021-22569 3 Google, Oracle, Redhat 14 Google-protobuf, Protobuf-java, Protobuf-kotlin and 11 more 2025-04-21 7.5 High
An issue in protobuf-java allowed the interleaving of com.google.protobuf.UnknownFieldSet fields in such a way that would be processed out of order. A small malicious payload can occupy the parser for several minutes by creating large numbers of short-lived objects that cause frequent, repeated pauses. We recommend upgrading libraries beyond the vulnerable versions.
CVE-2021-22570 6 Debian, Fedoraproject, Google and 3 more 11 Debian Linux, Fedora, Protobuf and 8 more 2025-04-21 6.5 Medium
Nullptr dereference when a null char is present in a proto symbol. The symbol is parsed incorrectly, leading to an unchecked call into the proto file's name during generation of the resulting error message. Since the symbol is incorrectly parsed, the file is nullptr. We recommend upgrading to version 3.15.0 or greater.
CVE-2022-3171 3 Fedoraproject, Google, Redhat 10 Fedora, Google-protobuf, Protobuf-java and 7 more 2025-04-21 4.3 Medium
A parsing issue with binary data in protobuf-java core and lite versions prior to 3.21.7, 3.20.3, 3.19.6 and 3.16.3 can lead to a denial of service attack. Inputs containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields causes objects to be converted back-n-forth between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses. We recommend updating to the versions mentioned above.
CVE-2015-5237 1 Google 1 Protobuf 2025-04-20 8.8 High
protobuf allows remote authenticated attackers to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
CVE-2022-1941 4 Debian, Fedoraproject, Google and 1 more 5 Debian Linux, Fedora, Protobuf-cpp and 2 more 2024-11-21 7.5 High
A parsing vulnerability for the MessageSet type in the ProtocolBuffers versions prior to and including 3.16.1, 3.17.3, 3.18.2, 3.19.4, 3.20.1 and 3.21.5 for protobuf-cpp, and versions prior to and including 3.16.1, 3.17.3, 3.18.2, 3.19.4, 3.20.1 and 4.21.5 for protobuf-python can lead to out of memory failures. A specially crafted message with multiple key-value per elements creates parsing issues, and can lead to a Denial of Service against services receiving unsanitized input. We recommend upgrading to versions 3.18.3, 3.19.5, 3.20.2, 3.21.6 for protobuf-cpp and 3.18.3, 3.19.5, 3.20.2, 4.21.6 for protobuf-python. Versions for 3.16 and 3.17 are no longer updated.
