CVE-2026-91095: Meta proxygen use-after-free in WebTransport stream handling

CVE-2026-91095 · Severity: info · Published 2026-09-28

Meta's proxygen HTTP library contains a use-after-free vulnerability in its WebTransport stream handling. The HTTPTransaction APIs could return stream handles that had already been freed by the stream handler, and these dangling pointers were then used as transport read callbacks. This could allow an attacker to corrupt memory or trigger a crash when processing WebTransport connections.

Technologies: Meta Proxygen. Vendors: Meta.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in HTTPTransaction::onWebTransportUniStream and HTTPTransaction::onWebTransportBidiStream APIs, which return stream handles that have already been freed by the stream handler. HQSession installs these dangling pointers as transport read callbacks, leading to use-after-free when those callbacks are invoked. The issue affects proxygen versions from v2024.10.28.00 to v2026.09.28.00; a patch is available in v2026.09.28.00 and later.
