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-2026-63574 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. bc-csharp. 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-2026-63574/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63574/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-63574","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63574/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-63574","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-576x-9vpc-g3jj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"C# cryptography library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service via memory exhaustion by supplying crafted OpenPGP keys with excessive subpacket lengths to the bc-csharp library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"bcorg","cpe":[{"product":"bc-csharp","vendor":"bouncycastle"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-789","name":"Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value"}],"description":"Memory allocation with excessive size value in the OpenPGP signature and user attribute subpacket parsers (SignatureSubpacketsParser.ReadPacket, UserAttributeSubpacketsParser.ReadPacket) in Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. bc-csharp before 2.7.0 allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker who can supply a crafted OpenPGP public key, certificate or signature to cause a denial of service (OutOfMemoryException or memory exhaustion in the parsing process) via a subpacket header using the five-octet length form, because the declared length was used to size the subpacket buffer with no upper bound and without being compared with the size of the enclosing subpacket area or packet, so a few bytes of input could demand an allocation of up to about 2 GB before any subpacket data was read.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Unbounded allocation from OpenPGP signature and user attribute subpacket lengths","id":"CVE-2026-63574","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"PKCS#12 key derivation loops about 2^32 times on a zero or negative iteration count","id":"CVE-2026-63575"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Bleichenbacher padding oracle in CMS RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 key-transport unwrap","id":"CVE-2026-63573"},"products":["bc-csharp"],"published":"2026-10-02","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"MTI/A0 DHAgreement does not validate the peer's ephemeral value","id":"CVE-2026-63569","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-02"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Unbounded ASN.1 nesting depth causes process-terminating stack overflow","id":"CVE-2026-103600","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-02"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Unbounded HSS public key level count allows huge array allocation during signature verification","id":"CVE-2026-103603","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-02"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Quadratic-time escaping when converting X.509 distinguished names to strings","id":"CVE-2026-103604","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-02"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"KCcmBlockCipher (DSTU 7624 CCM) tag not bound to nonce when no associated data is used","id":"CVE-2026-16000","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-02"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"DTLS handshake reassembler allocates buffer from unchecked 24-bit length","id":"CVE-2026-63566","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-02"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Unbounded CMP/CRMF password-based MAC iteration count allows CPU exhaustion","id":"CVE-2026-63568","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-02"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-02","vendors":["Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc."]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service via memory exhaustion by supplying crafted OpenPGP keys with excessive subpacket lengths to the bc-csharp library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63574/"}
