CVE-2026-47180
Last modified
CVE-2026-47180 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Zeroconf is a pure Python implementation of multicast DNS service discovery. Prior to 0.149.5, DNSIncoming._decode_labels_at_offset recurses once per DNS-name compression pointer, and a single mDNS packet carrying chained pointers can trigger a RecursionError that escapes DNSIncoming.__init__, causing sustained CPU burn, log flooding, and degraded mDNS-dependent features for unauthenticated hosts on the local link over UDP/5353 (224.0.0.251 / ff02::fb). EPSS estimates a 0.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
