CVE-2026-119204
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.GHSA-cggf-277g-3q54 ↗EUVD-2026-113375 ↗
description
pypdf versions earlier than 6.21.4 can use disproportionate memory when parsing certain PDF page-tree structures. An attacker who can cause an application to process a crafted PDF may exhaust available memory and disrupt that application.
mitigation
Upgrade pypdf to version 6.21.4 or later. Until upgrading, restrict processing of untrusted PDFs and apply resource limits to PDF-processing workloads.
fixed in >= 6.21.4
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
