CVE-2026-49234Network attack vector

Service crash via non-UTF-8 ASN query

Published Jun 8, 2026 · Updated Jun 8, 2026

Improper input validation in NLnet Labs Routinator before 0.15.2 allows remote attackers to crash its HTTP API service. The /api/v1/origins endpoint attempts to parse a crafted non-UTF-8 select-asn string as an AS number and panics instead of rejecting it. Exploitation requires API access from an untrusted network and interrupts the Routinator process without reported data disclosure or modification.
