CVE-2025-71329 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.7/10 on the CVSS scale. image-size through 2.0.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows remote attackers to permanently block the Node.js event loop by supplying a specially crafted image buffer with a zero-valued size field in a recognized box-type. Attackers can trigger an infinite loop in the JXL or HEIF image parsers by providing a crafted image containing a box with a size of zero, causing the offset to never advance and permanently hanging the application.. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
