CVE-2026-40260 MEDIUM PATCH GHSA This Month

Memory exhaustion in pypdf library allows remote attackers to cause denial of service by crafting malicious PDF files with specially crafted XMP metadata that triggers excessive memory consumption during parsing. Affected versions prior to pypdf 6.10.0 are vulnerable; vendor-released patch is available. No active exploitation confirmed, but the attack requires only a crafted PDF file and no special privileges.

CVE-2026-33036 HIGH PATCH This Week

A bypass vulnerability in fast-xml-parser allows attackers to circumvent entity expansion limits through numeric character references (&#NNN;) and standard XML entities, causing denial of service via excessive memory allocation and CPU consumption. The vulnerability affects fast-xml-parser versions 5.x through 5.5.5, completely bypassing security controls added in the previous CVE-2026-26278 fix. A proof-of-concept demonstrates that even with strict limits configured (maxTotalExpansions=10), an attacker can inject 100,000+ numeric entities to consume hundreds of megabytes of memory.

Denial of service in SVGO versions 2.1.0-2.8.0, 3.0.0-3.3.2, and before 4.0.1 allows unauthenticated attackers to crash the Node.js process through XML entity expansion attacks, with a minimal 811-byte payload triggering heap exhaustion. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, and no patch is currently available. Affected users of SVGO, Node.js, and Golang implementations should restrict input sources until updates are released.

CVE-2026-26278 HIGH POC PATCH This Week

Fast XML Parser versions 4.1.3 through 5.3.5 are vulnerable to XML entity expansion attacks that allow remote attackers to cause denial of service by forcing unbounded entity expansion with minimal payload sizes. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, enabling attackers to freeze or severely degrade application performance. Upgrade to version 5.3.6 or disable entity processing using the `processEntities: false` option to mitigate the risk.

The XXE injection has the potential to cause denial of service (DoS) attacks.

An XML Entity Expansion vulnerability, also known as a 'billion laughs' attack, exists in the sitemap parser of the run-llama/llama_index repository, specifically affecting version v0.12.21. This vulnerability allows an attacker to supply a malicious Sitemap XML, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) by exhausting system memory and potentially causing a system crash. The issue is resolved in version v0.12.29.
