CVE-2026-8813

• Severity: high (CVSS 7.5 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.5% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known

• Weakness: CWE-1284

Description

This affects versions of the package exifreader before 4.39.0. A crafted image containing an ICC mluc tag can set an attacker-controlled record count together with a zero record size. During parsing, ExifReader repeatedly processes the same record and appends entries to an array without sufficient bounds validation, causing excessive memory growth. In applications that parse attacker-supplied images, this may lead to denial of service through memory exhaustion.

Affected products

• exifreader: before 4.39.0 — fixed in 4.39.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: exifreader 4.39.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
