It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-24515 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Libexpat Project Libexpat. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. 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.\n2. 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.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-24515/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-24515/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-24515","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-24515/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-24515","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2026-24515","AZL-75102","AZL-75216","BELL-CVE-2026-24515","CLEANSTART-2026-CR32311","CLSA-2026-1770394049","CLSA-2026-1770395482","CLSA-2026-1770647876","CLSA-2026-1770648267","CLSA-2026-1770648617","CLSA-2026-1770707507","CLSA-2026-1770732201","CLSA-2026-1770734305","CLSA-2026-1770734656","CLSA-2026-1770734875","CLSA-2026-1770735514","CLSA-2026-1770735752","CLSA-2026-1770741587","CLSA-2026-1770899757","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-24515","ECHO-cbf6-e20a-84e9","GHSA-mpwv-4wmh-cvf7","JLSEC-2026-379","OESA-2026-1272","OESA-2026-1273","OESA-2026-1274","OESA-2026-1299","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-24515"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"XML parsing library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A null pointer dereference in libexpat can cause a denial of service when processing XML with unknown encodings.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"libexpat","vendor":"libexpat_project"}],"cvss":{"score":2.9,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In libexpat before 2.7.4, XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate does not copy unknown encoding handler user data.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Null dereference in libexpat","id":"CVE-2026-24515","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"libexpat_project:libexpat","products":["libexpat_project:libexpat"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"DigitalOcean Droplet Agent: Command Injection via Metadata Service Endpoint","id":"CVE-2026-24516"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ingress-nginx Admission Controller denial of service","id":"CVE-2026-24514"},"products":["libexpat"],"published":"2026-01-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-45490","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-30"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Expat Denial of Service via storeAtts() Quadratic Complexity","id":"CVE-2026-66046","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-18"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-46143","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-01-06"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-11742","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-30"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in libexpat","id":"CVE-2025-59375","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-15"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-52425","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-04"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-45491","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-30"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-02","vendors":["libexpat project"]},"summary":"A null pointer dereference in libexpat can cause a denial of service when processing XML with unknown encodings.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-24515/"}
