It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-48155 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- pypdf (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 6.12.0\n- pypdf (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 6.12.0\n- pypdf (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 6.12.0\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-2026-48155/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-48155/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-48155","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-48155/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-48155","record":{"aliases":["CLEANSTART-2026-YQ71445","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-48155","ECHO-3326-0933-380b","GHSA-cj93-chg6-vgv8","MINI-5g2h-p35x-m83c","MINI-984j-vcph-7446","MINI-g8j7-mpvj-ggr5","MINI-p2xh-qrh7-rmxc","MINI-phjh-vfq3-mw95","MINI-v86c-f888-cc2p","MINI-xm33-57j2-vhmv","PYSEC-2026-3016","ROOT-APP-PYPI-CVE-2026-48155","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-48155"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python PDF library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause excessive memory consumption in pypdf by crafting a PDF with large character offsets during layout mode text extraction.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"pypdf","vendor":"pypdf_project"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library.
