Answer in brief
CVE-2026-48090 records a Medium severity (CVSS 5.9) vulnerability in Envoy HTTP: OAuth2 filter late async token completion after stream teardown (UAF / crash risk). The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps envoyproxy/envoy (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 5.9. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. From 1.37.0 until 1.37.5 and 1.38.3, the HTTP OAuth2 filter (envoy.filters.http.oauth2) can leave an in-flight async token exchange attached to a downstream stream that has already been torn down. A late AsyncClient completion can still invoke OAuth2Filter methods that use StreamDecoderFilterCallbacks after that object’s lifetime has ended, causing undefined behavior, worker crashes (availability loss), and use-after-free / invalid-vptr failures under AddressSanitizer. This is a memory-safety / lifetime issue in the data plane, not a trivial config bug. Remote code execution is not claimed here; the primary demonstrated impact is DoS via crash and UB; any further impact would be deployment- and allocator-dependent. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.37.5 and 1.38.3.
