The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security issued advisory AV26-749 warning that Apache Thrift versions prior to 0.24.0 are affected by multiple vulnerabilities. The notice identifies four flaws — CVE-2026-48586, CVE-2026-49158, CVE-2026-55969, and CVE-2026-58023 — and says the issues impact Apache products using the framework, with affected users directed to Apache notices for additional details.
The disclosed weaknesses include decompression size-limit failures, a potential decompression bomb, an integer overflow, and a heap out-of-bounds read. Security officials urged users and administrators to review the vendor advisories and apply updates as they become available, with the fixes tied to upgrading to Apache Thrift 0.24.0 or later.

Apache disclosed **CVE-2026-48586**, a high-severity flaw in **Apache Thrift** caused by improper handling of highly compressed data in `TZlibTransport`. The issue is described as a **data amplification** weakness in decompression size limiting, allowing a remote attacker to send crafted compressed input that can trigger excessive resource consumption and impact service availability. The vulnerability affects Apache Thrift versions **before 0.24.0** across multiple language bindings, including **C++**, **Java**, **Python**, **Go**, **D**, and **C/GLib**. The flaw carries a **CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7** and is considered **remotely exploitable**. Apache has released a fix in **version 0.24.0** and recommends upgrading affected deployments to remediate the issue.
