CVE-2026-24828
📋 TL;DR
This is a memory leak vulnerability (CWE-401) in Is-Daouda is-Engine software where memory is not properly released after use. This allows attackers to cause denial of service through resource exhaustion. All users of is-Engine before version 3.3.4 are affected.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system unavailability due to memory exhaustion leading to denial of service, potentially affecting all services using the vulnerable component.
Likely Case
Degraded performance and intermittent service disruptions as memory consumption grows over time, eventually requiring system restart.
If Mitigated
Minimal impact with proper monitoring and resource limits in place, though memory consumption may still be higher than normal.
🎯 Exploit Status
Memory leak vulnerabilities typically require repeated requests to trigger, but exploitation is straightforward once identified.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 3.3.4
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/Is-Daouda/is-Engine/pull/6
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup current configuration and data. 2. Stop all services using is-Engine. 3. Update to version 3.3.4 or later. 4. Restart services. 5. Verify functionality.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Memory limit enforcement
linuxSet memory limits on processes using is-Engine to prevent complete system exhaustion
ulimit -v [memory_limit_in_kb]
docker run --memory=[limit]
Regular service restart
linuxSchedule periodic restarts of services using is-Engine to clear accumulated memory
systemctl restart [service_name]
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement aggressive memory monitoring and alerting for processes using is-Engine
- Deploy behind rate-limiting proxies to reduce request frequency
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check is-Engine version with: is-engine --version or examine package manager outputCheck Version:
is-engine --versionVerify Fix Applied:
Confirm version is 3.3.4 or higher and monitor memory usage over time for stability📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Increasing memory usage patterns
- Out of memory errors
- Frequent garbage collection
Network Indicators:
- Unusually high request rates to is-Engine endpoints
- Service degradation over time
