CVE-2026-12478
Last modified
CVE-2026-12478 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The fix for CVE-2026-0716 (commit 6ff7ef0, libsoup 3.6.6) placed the integer overflow guard inside the if (masked) block, leaving unmasked server-to-client frames unprotected. A malicious WebSocket server can send a crafted unmasked frame with a payload length near UINT64_MAX to trigger an OOB read in a libsoup-based client when max_incoming_payload_size is set to 0.. EPSS estimates a 0.30% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
