Unauthenticated service crash via concurrent map writes
Published Aug 19, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026
Race condition in Gotenberg 8.10.0 through 8.32.0 allows remote attackers to crash the service via crafted multipart downloadFrom requests. In pkg/modules/api/context.go, newContext starts one errgroup.Go task per downloadFrom entry and lets those tasks concurrently mutate the shared ctx.files, ctx.diskToOriginal, and ctx.filesByField maps and slices before request handling completes. Default deployments enable downloadFrom and disable authentication, so internet-exposed instances can be terminated without credentials; the published impact is availability only.
