cbor2 provides encoding and decoding for the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) (RFC 8949) serialization format. Starting in version 5.5.1 and prior to version 5.6.2, an attacker can crash a service using cbor2 to parse a CBOR binary by sending a long enough object. Version 5.6.2 contains a patch for this issue.
CVE-2024-26134
This high-severity CVE scores 7.5 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 1.2%, top 36% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
