Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-41605 is an integer overflow or wraparound vulnerability (CWE-190) in Apache Thrift, affecting all versions prior to 0.23.0. Apache Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development, commonly used for remote procedure calls (RPC) in distributed systems. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed on April 28, 2026, and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L), indicating high severity due to its network accessibility and low attack complexity.
Remote attackers require no privileges or user interaction to exploit this vulnerability over the network. Successful exploitation could result in limited impacts, including partial disclosure of sensitive information, minor modification of data, or limited denial of service, depending on the Thrift implementation and context in which it is deployed.
Apache advisories recommend upgrading to version 0.23.0, which addresses the issue. Detailed discussions are available in the Apache mailing list announcement at https://lists.apache.org/thread/lb4j0zyd5f3g36cos0wql925przpnwql and the oss-security mailing list post at http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/04/28/4.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation (static analysis, fuzzing, unit tests) directly finds integer overflow defects before deployment.
Secure engineering principles require use of safe arithmetic constructs or language features that structurally eliminate integer overflow during calculation.
Input validation enforces bounds on values before arithmetic, stopping the conditions that trigger overflow or wraparound.

Security testing in development can detect integer overflows before release.
Secure SDLC mandates input validation and arithmetic checks that prevent integer overflows.
Application security requirements include bounds checking and safe arithmetic to avoid overflow conditions.
Secure architecture principles require defensive coding patterns that mitigate integer wraparound risks.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe integer operations and mandate overflow-safe constructs.
