Summary

CVE-2026-7735 is a medium-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Osrg Gobgp. Its CVSS base score is 6.9 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 29th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2026-7735 is a buffer overflow vulnerability affecting osrg GoBGP versions up to 4.3.0. The flaw exists in the PathAttributeAigp.DecodeFromBytes function within the file pkg/packet/bgp/bgp.go, specifically in the AIGP Attribute Parser component. It is linked to CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) and CWE-120 (Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input).

An unauthenticated attacker with network access can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low complexity and no user interaction required. Manipulation of BGP packets triggers the buffer overflow, enabling limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as reflected in its CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).

Advisories recommend upgrading to GoBGP version 4.4.0, which resolves the issue through patch commit 51ad1ada06cb41ce47b7066799981816f50b7ced. Additional details are available on the GoBGP GitHub repository, the commit page, the v4.4.0 release, and VulDB entries.
