Capstone is a disassembly framework. Prior to version 6.0.0-Alpha9, Capstone's WebAssembly backend accepts attacker-controlled raw WASM instruction bytes through the public cs_disasm() and cs_disasm_iter() APIs. For a large but well-formed br_table instruction, the WASM decoder accumulates the immediate length in a wider local variable but returns it through a uint16_t instruction-size path. When the encoded instruction length is exactly 65,536 bytes, the size wraps to zero and cs_disasm() can repeatedly decode the same instruction without advancing. For larger lengths, cs_disasm_iter() advances into the middle of the br_table payload and decodes target bytes as subsequent instructions. This is an availability and parser-integrity issue. Version 6.0.0-Alpha9 patches the issue.
CVE-2026-49263
This low-severity CVE scores 2.0 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.1%, top 97% 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).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
