3DescriptionCVE.org
Scriban versions 6.6.0 through 7.2.0 contain a non-enforcing ExpressionDepthLimit guard that fails to stop recursive descent parsing of deeply nested expressions. Attackers can supply templates with deeply nested parentheses, array initializers, object initializers, or unary operators to trigger an uncatchable StackOverflowException that immediately terminates the host process.
AnalysisAI
Process-terminating denial-of-service in Scriban 6.6.0-7.2.0 allows any network-reachable attacker to crash a host .NET application by submitting a crafted template containing deeply nested parentheses, array initializers, object initializers, or unary operators. The ExpressionDepthLimit parser guard is structurally non-enforcing: it logs a non-fatal error and sets a flag but never halts recursive descent, allowing the call stack to exhaust until an uncatchable StackOverflowException terminates the process - roughly achievable with an 8 KB payload. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that attacker-controlled input reaches `Template.Parse` or `Template.ParseLiquid` - specifically, that the application passes externally supplied strings to Scriban's parser without pre-validating or sanitizing template content. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H) scores 8.7 and accurately reflects the realistic attack profile: network-reachable, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, with high availability impact and no confidentiality or integrity loss. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker targeting a .NET web application that renders user-supplied report templates via Scriban submits an HTTP request containing a template body with several thousand levels of nested parentheses or array initializers - achievable in approximately 8 KB. The Scriban parser enters recursive descent, the `ExpressionDepthLimit` guard logs an error but does not stop parsing, the CLR thread stack exhausts, and an uncatchable `StackOverflowException` immediately terminates the application worker process. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade `Scriban` or `Scriban.Signed` to version 7.2.1 or later, which is the vendor-released patch for this vulnerability (confirmed by NuGet package fix metadata). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
