CVE-2026-42544: Granian vulnerable to unauthenticated DoS via WebSocket subprotocol header panic

May 6, 2026

Granian aborts a worker process when an unauthenticated client sends a WebSocket upgrade request whose Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header contains non-ASCII bytes.

The crash happens in Granian’s WebSocket scope construction path, before the ASGI application is invoked.

This is a single-request Denial Of Service against one worker. Repeating the request across workers takes the service offline.
