Vulnerability in MessagePack (CVE-2026-92707)
Summary
Vulnerability in MessagePack (CVE-2026-92707). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via System.Object. Mitigation: upgrade to 3.1.9 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Impact
MessagePack-CSharp is vulnerable to denial of service through excessive memory allocation when deserializing attacker-controlled data into System.Object.
When PrimitiveObjectFormatter encounters an array, it allocates an object[] using the declared array length before enforcing the configured maximum object-graph depth. A specially crafted payload containing deeply nested arrays can therefore keep many large arrays live simultaneously before deserialization is rejected for exceeding the depth limit.
Because the array-header validation uses the total unread byte count as evidence that the declared elements may be present, nested array headers can reuse the same trailing bytes for this validation. This permits a relatively small payload to cause disproportionately large managed-heap allocations. The reported example uses an approximately 31.5 KiB payload to allocate roughly 114.7 MiB of reference storage on x64—an amplification factor of approximately 3,800—before the depth exception is raised. Repeated requests may cause severe memory pressure, excessive garbage collection, process termination, or loss of service availability.
Applications are affected when they:
- Deserialize untrusted MessagePack data as
object, or otherwise use a resolver path that selectsPrimitiveObjectFormatter; and - Permit an attacker to submit such data repeatedly.
ASP.NET Core SignalR is one known way to expose the vulnerability remotely: an application that enables `Ad…
