CVE-2026-108755: Hatchet resource exhaustion via SNS ingestion endpoint

CVE-2026-108755 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-10-11

Hatchet is an orchestration engine for background tasks and workflows that processes incoming SNS messages. An attacker can exhaust the server's memory by sending very large or numerous concurrent requests to the SNS ingestion endpoint without authentication, causing the service to become unavailable to legitimate users.

Technologies: Hatchet. Vendors: Hatchet.

Technical details

The SnsUpdate handler in the SNS ingestion endpoint buffers the entire request body via io.ReadAll before performing signature verification, allowing unauthenticated attackers to exhaust memory resources. An attacker can repeatedly send arbitrarily large request bodies to POST /api/v1/sns/{tenant}/{event} with any UUID, and the handler will allocate memory for each one before the VerifyPayload check occurs, degrading availability.
