Summary
Consul Community Edition and Consul Enterprise 1.2.0 through 2.0.2 are vulnerable to an uncontrolled resource consumption issue in the Connect CA roots endpoint that may allow a remote caller to grow the agent's Connect CA roots cache without bound, defeating the operator's cache-disable configuration.
This vulnerability, CVE-2026-19015, is fixed in Consul 2.0.3 and Consul Enterprise 1.21.17, 1.22.11, and 2.0.3. A flaw was found in Consul.
This allows the attacker to continuously grow the agent's Connect CA roots cache, bypassing configured cache limits. The consequence is a denial of service (DoS) due to excessive memory usage, impacting the availability of the service.
Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-770.
