Uncontrolled Recursion in py-asn1 - CVE-2026-30922

Published: April 27, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU128152
CSH Severity: Medium
CVSS v4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-30922
CWE-ID: CWE-674
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion in the pyasn1 BER decoder when decoding deeply nested ASN.1 data with indefinite-length constructed types. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted payload containing nested SEQUENCE or SET tags to cause a denial of service.

Services that parse untrusted ASN.1 data may terminate with a RecursionError or exhaust available memory.
