What is CVE-2026-26330?

A vulnerability in Envoy Proxy allows for a potential crash when the rate limit filter is misconfigured. If 'apply_on_stream_done' is enabled, and a response phase limit request fails directly, Envoy may crash. The issue arises because the gRPC client instance does not clean up the inner state after the request phase limit request is successful, leading to unintended access during subsequent limit requests triggered in the response phase. This flaw has been addressed in versions 1.34.13, 1.35.8, 1.36.5, and 1.37.1.
