pypdf DoS Bug via Malformed PDF Streams
A moderate-severity vulnerability (GHSA-JJ6C-8H6C-HPPX, CVSS 5.5) was published on 2026-04-15 affecting pypdf versions prior to 6.10.1. The issue stems from insufficient validation of cross-reference (xref) and object stream sizes, allowing maliciously crafted PDFs to trigger excessive iteration and uncontrolled resource consumption, resulting in denial of service (DoS). The advisory lists CWE-400 and CWE-834, notes an attack vector of local or remote file upload, and indicates a proof‑of‑concept exploit exists. The issue is fixed in pypdf v6.10.1; recommended mitigations include upgrading to >=6.10.1, enforcing timeouts, isolating PDF parsing into bounded subprocesses or containers, and applying OS/orchestrator memory limits.
