image-size through 2.0.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows remote attackers to permanently block the Node.js event loop by supplying a specially crafted image buffer with a zero-valued size field in a recognized box-type. Attackers can trigger an infinite loop in the JXL or HEIF image parsers by providing a crafted image containing a box with a size of zero, causing the offset to never advance and permanently hanging the application.
CVE-2025-71329
Score 7.5 from GitHub Security Advisory (severity: HIGH) published 2026-06-10. the CNA's CVSS baseline 7.5; sources differ by 0.0.
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
