Vulnerability in SixLabors.ImageSharp (CVE-2026-106116)
Summary
Vulnerability in SixLabors.ImageSharp (CVE-2026-106116). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via SixLabors.ImageSharp. Mitigation: upgrade to 4.1.2 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
SixLabors.ImageSharp 4.1.1 can spend an attacker-controlled duration decoding a
small malformed BigTIFF. The BigTIFF IFD entry-count field is 64-bit. The reader
iterates once per declared entry, but when fewer than 20 bytes remain for an entry,
the entry read returns without advancing. A 24-byte input can therefore run billions
of iterations without consuming input.
One decoder invocation occupied one executing thread for more than five seconds in
the tested environment. This report makes no worker-pool exhaustion claim.
Affected package and versions
- Package:
SixLabors.ImageSharp(NuGet) - Affected range:
>= 2.0.0, <= 4.1.1 - Commit
0815358f9202a78bc7f3b83e19282dc3654b500fcorresponds to release v4.1.1.
BigTIFF decoding and the unbounded ReadValues64 loop first appear in v2.0.0. Every release tag from v2.0.0 through v4.1.1 retains that loop without constraining the entry count or terminating when a truncated entry makes no progress. The 24-byte PoC exceeded the five-second timeout on published v2.0.0 and v4.1.1; the one-entry control returned promptly on both.
Details
ReadValues64 trusts the 64-bit IFD count and loops once per declared entry. When fewer than 20 bytes remain, [ReadValue64](https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/blob/0815358f9202a78bc7f3b83e19282dc3654b500f/src/Image…
