CVE-2026-77220
Last modified
CVE-2026-77220 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. PDFio before 1.6.5 contains a dangling pointer vulnerability in the dictionary string-formatting function that stores a pointer to a stack-local buffer in the document dictionary without copying the string value. In multi-threaded or pooled-request environments, attackers or concurrent users can trigger stack memory reuse across requests, causing cross-tenant document content corruption by silently overwriting one caller's dictionary string values with another caller's data.. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
