CVE-2026-104855 (wasmtime) — CWE-362
Attack surface: memory.copy / array.copy / Store / table.grow
Patched: 47.0.3 — apply immediately
Workaround: Embedders using Store::epoch_deadline_callback are safe if they only access the T in Store<T>.
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.

Response actions
Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order
-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'wasmtime' . | grep -v node_modulesリポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で
wasmtimeを grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。 -
2Apply temporary workaround mitigate
Embedders using `Store::epoch_deadline_callback` are safe if they only access the `T` in `Store<T>`.パッチが適用されるまでの応急処置として、Embedders using
Store::epoch_deadline_callbackare safe if they only access theTinStore<T>. を実施。回避策の副作用 (機能低下) を確認した上で。 -
3Apply patch patch
Upgrade wasmtime to 47.0.3ステージング環境で 47.0.3 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。
-
4Post-deployment verification verify
Confirm patched version is live in productionパッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
