Apache disclosed three vulnerabilities in Apache Thrift affecting releases prior to 0.23.0, including CVE-2026-41607, an important-severity C++ JSON out-of-bounds read; CVE-2026-41604, a moderate-severity Swift Range crash caused by an out-of-bounds read in skip(); and CVE-2026-41636, an uncontrolled recursion issue in the Node.js implementation of skip(). The issues were published through the oss-sec mailing list in notices from Jens Geyer.
Apache said the flaws are fixed in version 0.23.0 and urged users to upgrade. The disclosures credit Hasnain Lakhani with finding the C++ and Swift issues, while 박시온 of L3G4CY Security Research was credited with the Node.js recursion bug, highlighting that the affected code spans multiple language bindings and parsers within the Thrift framework.
