DescriptionCVE.org

Scriban before 7.0.0 (affected versions <= 6.6.0) contains a stack overflow vulnerability in nested array initializer parsing. Deeply nested array initializers recurse through a path (ParseArrayInitializer → ParseExpression → ParseArrayInitializer) that is not covered by the ExpressionDepthLimit counter added in the fix for GHSA-wgh7-7m3c-fx25. An attacker who can supply untrusted input to Template.Parse can trigger an uncatchable StackOverflowException that immediately terminates the process, even with the default ExpressionDepthLimit enabled.

AnalysisAI

Process-terminating stack overflow in Scriban's template parser affects all versions before 7.0.0, allowing any attacker who can supply content to Template.Parse to crash the hosting .NET application via an uncatchable StackOverflowException. The flaw exploits a recursion path (ParseArrayInitializer → ParseExpression → ParseArrayInitializer) that is structurally separate from the ExpressionDepthLimit guard introduced in the prior fix for GHSA-wgh7-7m3c-fx25, meaning teams who applied that earlier patch retain a false sense of protection and remain fully vulnerable. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The sole prerequisite is that the target application passes attacker-controlled string content to Scriban's Template.Parse method - no special Scriban configuration, non-default settings, or privileged access is required at the library level. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) accurately reflects a low-complexity, network-accessible denial-of-service with no confidentiality or integrity impact - the signal here is internally consistent, not inflated. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker submits a crafted template string composed of thousands of nested array initializer brackets - for example, {{ [[[...1...]]] }} with approximately 5,000 levels of nesting - to any application endpoint that forwards user input to Scriban's Template.Parse. The parser recursively descends through ParseArrayInitializer without any depth guard, exhausts the .NET call stack, and triggers an uncatchable StackOverflowException that immediately kills the host process. …
Remediation Upgrade to Scriban 7.0.0 or Scriban.Signed 7.0.0 on NuGet, as confirmed by the vendor advisory at https://github.com/scriban/scriban/security/advisories/GHSA-p6q4-fgr8-vx4p - this is the only complete fix and should be treated as the primary action. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all .NET applications and services using Scriban across the enterprise and classify them by exposure level based on whether they process untrusted template content. …
