Description

Boundary Community Edition and Boundary Enterprise (“Boundary”) incorrectly handle HTTP requests during the initialization of the Boundary controller, which may cause the Boundary server to terminate prematurely.

This vulnerability, CVE-2024-12289, is fixed in Boundary Community Edition and Boundary Enterprise 0.16.4, 0.17.3, 0.18.2.
