CVE-2026-47249 klever-io CVE debrief
CVE-2026-47249 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Klever-Go implementation of the Klever blockchain protocol. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request that can cause memory and CPU amplification, potentially leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) attack. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.7.18.

Who should care
Defenders responsible for Klever-Go implementations, particularly those using P2P connections, should assess exposure and prioritize patching to prevent potential DoS attacks. This includes operators managing affected systems, platform administrators, vulnerability management teams, and security teams that need to verify patch versions and monitor for suspicious activity.
Why it matters
CVE-2026-47249 is a high-severity vulnerability in Klever-Go that can cause remote memory and CPU amplification, potentially leading to DoS attacks. Defenders should prioritize patching vulnerable systems, verifying the patch version, and monitoring for suspicious P2P activity.
- Remote memory amplification against nodes accepting P2P peer connections
- Remote CPU amplification against nodes accepting P2P peer connections
- Potential denial-of-service (DoS) attacks
- Verification of patch version and configuration
Technical summary
The P2P resolver request handling logic in Klever-Go is vulnerable to hash-array amplification. A connected peer can send a compressed request that expands into 200,000 decoded hash entries, causing remote memory and CPU amplification. The resolver's antiflood logic counts only a single logical message and the compressed wire size, but Batch.Decompress() caps the decompressed byte size without limiting the number of decoded repeated-field items.
Defensive priority
Defenders should prioritize patching vulnerable systems, verifying the patch version, and monitoring for suspicious P2P activity.
Recommended defensive actions
- Patch vulnerable systems to version 1.7.18 or later
- Verify patch version and configuration
- Monitor P2P activity for suspicious requests
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
- Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
- Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
- Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
