Technical details

A race condition exists in the InMemoryTaskStore::update function in a2a-server/src/task_store/inmemory.rs, specifically in the check-then-act window during task cancellation. Multiple concurrent cancel requests can bypass validation checks, leading to inconsistent task state. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and is fixed by atomically transitioning task states.
