Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in theotherphil imagecli up to 0.2.1. It has been rated as problematic. Affected by this issue is the function Scale::apply of the file src/image_ops.rs of the component Scale Pipeline. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a allocation of resources vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-770. The product allocates a reusable resource or group of resources on behalf of an actor without imposing any restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be allocated, in violation of the intended security policy for that actor. Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

imagecli's `scale <ratio>` pipeline operation (Scale::apply() in src/image_ops.rs) computes output width/height as (dimension as f32 * ratio) as u32 with no upper-bound validation on the CLI-supplied ratio, which is parsed via nom::number::complete::float with no range check. A large ratio (e.g. 100000) causes an attempted allocation of hundreds of terabytes, aborting the process. Any application embedding imagecli as a library and accepting user-controlled pipeline strings is remotely crashable with a single request.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-70377 since 08/04/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely.
