## What is CVE-2026-10042?

CVE-2026-10042 is a critical unsafe deserialization vulnerability in zyddnys manga-image-translator, published on 29 May 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

manga-image-translator contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the shared API server mode due to unsafe deserialization of untrusted pickle data in the share.py module, where the /execute/{method_name} and /simple_execute/{method_name} endpoints deserialize attacker-controlled HTTP request bodies using pickle.loads(). A remote attacker can supply a crafted pickle payload to these endpoints to execute arbitrary code in the server process, resulting in full container compromise when running in the default Docker deployment as root.

Weakness: CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data)

What it is: CVE-2026-10042 is a critical unsafe deserialization vulnerability in zyddnys manga-image-translator, published on 29 May 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-10042 exists.

Affected product: zyddnys manga-image-translator. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
