CVE-2024-24786 is an infinite-loop vulnerability in Go protobuf JSON unmarshaling, affecting the encoding/protojson and internal/encoding/json components. The protojson.Unmarshal function can fail to terminate when processing certain malformed JSON inputs. The condition can occur when the destination message contains a google.protobuf.Any value or when UnmarshalOptions.DiscardUnknown is enabled. Processing attacker-controlled input can exhaust resources and deny service to the affected application.
