{"answers":{"affected":"4 open source packages ship an affected version, including 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-2026-96637/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-96637/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-96637","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-96637/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-96637","record":{"aliases":["BIT-pillow-2026-96637","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-96637","ECHO-a7ab-f10a-7131","GHSA-g842-9rc4-69pw","PYSEC-2026-4338","ROOT-APP-PYPI-CVE-2026-96637","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-96637"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"pillow","vendor":"python"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"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, SpiderImageFile.seek() in src/PIL/SpiderImagePlugin.py reparses a later SPIDER stack frame and replaces self._size without rerunning Image._decompression_bomb_check(). A tiny file can use a safe first frame to pass Image.open() and then declare very large dimensions in a later mode F frame. Loading that frame allocates approximately four bytes per attacker-declared pixel and can consume multiple gigabytes of memory.
