An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-56018 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: GTERMARS JavaScript::Minifier::XS. 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-2026-56018/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-56018/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-56018","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-56018/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-56018","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2026-56018","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-56018","GHSA-fvxv-8c37-qrc6","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-56018"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Perl JavaScript minifier","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory leak in the JavaScript::Minifier::XS Perl library allows attackers to cause denial of service via unbounded memory growth during repeated minification calls.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CPANSec","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"},{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"JavaScript::Minifier::XS versions before 0.16 for Perl leak memory on every call to minify(), allowing unbounded memory growth.\n\nIn JsMinify (XS.xs) the cleanup frees only the NodeSet structures and never the per-token contents buffers allocated in JsSetNodeContents; JsDiscardNode unlinks nodes without freeing their contents.
