ETK-2026-3654Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
Affected AutoMapper releases can fail to enforce mapping depth limits when recursively nested destination objects are created through constructor parameters. An attacker able to supply deeply nested data for such a mapping may terminate the application process through stack exhaustion, even when a depth limit is configured.
mitigation
Upgrade AutoMapper to 16.3.0 or 15.1.4. Until then, reject or limit nested input before mapping; for compatible destination types, disable constructor mapping and use property mapping instead.
fixed in 16.3.0, 15.1.4
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
