CVE-2026-59203
Last modified
CVE-2026-59203 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 12.0.0 through 12.2.0, Pillow's EPS parser in PIL/EpsImagePlugin.py accepts a negative byte count in the %%BeginBinary directive, allowing a crafted EPS file to cause Image.open() to seek backwards to the same directive and parse it repeatedly in an infinite loop. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
