CVE-2026-68539

fulgur: Unbounded string-set value accumulation causes memory/CPU exhaustion (denial of service)

  • High 7.5

Description

fulgur converts untrusted HTML/CSS into PDF, commonly on a server that processes input supplied by many tenants. From version 0.4.4 to before version 0.29.0, the CSS string-set named-string values resolved from a document were accumulated per element with no memory budget, letting a small crafted document amplify into large retained memory (and the CPU to copy it) — results in a denial of service. This issue has been patched in version 0.29.0.
