Last modified
CVE-2026-59818 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. etcd is a distributed key-value store for the data of a distributed system. Prior to 3.5.32 and 3.6.13, when etcd is configured with --listen-client-http-urls to split HTTP and gRPC client endpoints onto separate listeners, the --client-crl-file Certificate Revocation List is not enforced on the gRPC listener, allowing a client with a revoked certificate to authenticate successfully over gRPC. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
