CVE-2026-127056

HIGHCVSS 7.5/10

Last modified

CVE-2026-127056 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. PapaParse before 5.7.1 contains an inefficient algorithmic complexity vulnerability that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to cause denial of service by submitting delimiter-free quoted CSV input to Papa.parse(). Attackers can supply a single-column quoted CSV with no delimiters, triggering repeated full-buffer indexOf scans per row that grow quadratically with input size, exhausting CPU and blocking the Node.js event loop or freezing a browser tab..
