Last modified

CVE-2026-124553 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. BabelDOC from 0.3.61 before 0.7.0 contains a resource exhaustion vulnerability that allows remote attackers to exhaust CPU and memory by supplying unbounded bfrange and cidrange spans. Attackers can submit a crafted PDF whose embedded ToUnicode CMap declares a huge range, driving billions of loop iterations and stalling the translation worker.. EPSS estimates a 0.54% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
