{"answers":{"affected":"4 open source packages ship an affected version, including pillow and Pillow.

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-2026-96636/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-96636/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-96636","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-96636/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-96636","record":{"aliases":["BIT-pillow-2026-96636","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-96636","ECHO-bff9-5988-22f2","GHSA-p8hx-v2p6-rp84","PYSEC-2026-4337","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-96636"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"pillow","vendor":"python"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-409","name":"Improper Handling of Highly Compressed Data (Data Amplification)"},{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 13.0.0, MpoImageFile.seek() and DcxImageFile.seek() reparse later MPO or DCX frames and replace self._size without rerunning Image._decompression_bomb_check().

Normal frame iteration through seek(), load(), or ImageSequence.Iterator can decode that frame and commit hundreds of megabytes or more, causing memory-exhaustion denial of service.
