      "title": "Kong Mesh: control plane denial of service via a malformed dataplane token with a non-string JWT kid",
      "summary": "The dataplane token validator in kuma-cp performs an unchecked Go type assertion on the JWT kid header. A token whose kid is a JSON number decodes as a float64 and triggers a runtime panic before any signature, claims, or authorization check runs.\n\n\n\nThe panic terminates the entire kuma-cp process, HTTP API, the health and readiness endpoints, and xDS. Unauthenticated access to the dataplane gRPC server can trigger the crash with a malformed token\n\n\n\nA single request is a transient interruption; sustaining an outage requires repeated requests.",
