pyasn1 is a generic ASN.1 library for Python. Prior to 0.6.3, the pyasn1 library is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack caused by uncontrolled recursion when decoding ASN.1 data with deeply nested structures. An attacker can supply a crafted payload containing thousands of nested SEQUENCE (0x30) or SET (0x31) tags with "Indefinite Length" (0x80) markers. This forces the decoder to recursively call itself until the Python interpreter crashes with a RecursionError or consumes all available memory (OOM), crashing the host application. This is a distinct vulnerability from CVE-2026-23490 (which addressed integer overflows in OID decoding). The fix for CVE-2026-23490 (MAX_OID_ARC_CONTINUATION_OCTETS) does not mitigate this recursion issue. Version 0.6.3 fixes this specific issue.
CVE-2026-30922
This high-severity CVE scores 7.5 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.0%, top 92% 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).
