CVE-2026-54060
Last modified
CVE-2026-54060 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, PIL/FontFile.py FontFile.compile() assembled per-glyph images into a combined bitmap with Image.new("1", (xsize, ysize)) without calling Image._decompression_bomb_check(), allowing a font to trigger excessive allocation during conversion or saving. EPSS estimates a 0.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
