Granian: Unauthenticated DoS via WebSocket subprotocol header panic

Published May 12, 2026 · Updated May 18, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Granian is a Rust HTTP server for Python applications. From 1.2.0 to 2.7.4, Granian aborts a worker process when an unauthenticated client sends a WebSocket upgrade request whose Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header contains non-ASCII bytes. The crash happens in Granian's WebSocket scope construction path, before the ASGI application is invoked. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.7.4.
