**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Eclipse Mosquitto versions 2.0.0 through 2.0.18 **Description** The issue is related to a double free error in Eclipse Mosquitto. When a Mosquitto broker is configured to create an outgoing bridge connection with an incoming topic that uses topic remapping, a remote attacker can send a crafted PUBLISH packet to the broker, causing a double free error and subsequent crash of the broker. This can allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. **Recommendations** For Eclipse Mosquitto versions 2.0.0 through 2.0.18, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the topic remapping feature for incoming bridge connections until a patch is available. Restrict access to the Mosquitto broker to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `PUBLISH` packet in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
