1) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-44660)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to missing release of memory after effective lifetime in the objToJSONFile() function when handling write failures in ujson.dump() to a file-like object. A remote attacker can trigger repeated failed write operations to cause a denial of service.
Each failed write leaks the full size of the serialized JSON payload.
