NULL Pointer Dereference in Packetbeat Leading to Denial of Service

Published Nov 3, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476) in the AMQP protocol parser in Packetbeat can lead to denial of service via specially crafted network traffic. An unauthenticated attacker who can send traffic on a network segment that Packetbeat monitors for AMQP can cause a Go runtime panic that terminates the Packetbeat process. A single crafted packet is sufficient. No AMQP authentication is necessary. While Packetbeat is not running, it does not collect network telemetry.
