ETK-2026-1283Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
Affected pdfcpu versions can terminate while parsing PDFs containing circular stream references. An attacker who can supply a PDF to an application using the affected parser may cause a denial of service; exposure depends on processing untrusted PDF input.
mitigation
Upgrade github.com/pdfcpu/pdfcpu to version 0.16.2 or later. Until upgraded, do not process untrusted PDFs with affected deployments.
fixed in 0.16.2
outcome
No artifact: an exploit or check was attempted but could not be produced at this moment.
