CVE-2026-55497 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Cloudreve is a self-hosted file management and sharing system. Prior to 4.17.0, the built-in thumbnail and avatar image decoders limit compressed file size but do not limit decoded pixel dimensions, allowing an authenticated user to submit a small PNG, JPEG, or GIF that triggers an unbounded allocation and terminates the Cloudreve process through fatal out-of-memory behavior. EPSS estimates a 0.53% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
