Last modified

CVE-2026-77584 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7/10 on the CVSS scale. Tor before 0.4.9.10 did not reject a CONFLUX_LINK cell that arrives on a circuit which already has attached streams. A malicious client could send a RELAY_COMMAND_BEGIN before the CONFLUX_LINK on the same circuit, attaching an exit stream that would later end up orphan leaving a dangling circuit back-pointer and a use-after-free (UAF) when the circuit is freed. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
