Apache disclosed CVE-2026-55969, a high-severity integer overflow or wraparound vulnerability in TProtocol::checkReadBytesAvailable() that affects Apache Thrift versions before 0.24.0. The flaw was initially reported as impacting the C++ and c_glib bindings, and subsequent vulnerability reporting expanded the affected surface to include Go, netstd, Delphi, and Haxe bindings as well.
The vulnerability is rated CVSS 4.0 8.7 and is described as remotely exploitable, raising concern for applications that use vulnerable Thrift components to process untrusted input. Apache said users should upgrade to version 0.24.0 or later to remediate the issue; the bug was reported by Ghaith Abdulreda and Javid Khan and disclosed publicly by Jens Geyer.
