Answer in brief
CVE-2026-78660 records a Unknown severity vulnerability in HTTP/2 transport accepts malformed framing-related headers in net/http. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps golang.org/x/net/golang.org/x/net/http2 (generic), Go standard library/net/http (generic), Go standard library/net/http/internal/http2 (generic), golang.org/x/net (go) and additional mapped packages. Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
A CVSS score is not reported in the current record. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

Historically, we have been rather lax about malformed framing-related headers in our HTTP/2 implementation, as they cannot interfere with HTTP/2 framing. However, this makes it possible for our HTTP/2 implementation to forward responses containing such headers to an HTTP/1 client when acting as a reverse proxy. If the HTTP/1 client also does not behave strictly enough, this can result in response smuggling.
