Details
A vulnerability was found in Bytecode Alliance Wasmtime up to 48.0.7/49.0.4/50.0.0. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects the function StructType::with_finality_and_supertype. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a type confusion vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-843. The product allocates or initializes a resource such as a pointer, object, or variable using one type, but it later accesses that resource using a type that is incompatible with the original type. As an impact it is known to affect integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
Wasmtime 47.0.0 before 48.0.8, 49.0.0 before 49.0.5, and 50.0.0 before 50.0.1 contains a cross-engine type confusion vulnerability because StructType::with_finality_and_supertype does not validate that the supplied supertype belongs to the same Engine. Embedders using multiple engines that create a GC struct type with another engine's supertype can trigger runtime panics or GC heap corruption, causing denial of service; guest WebAssembly cannot trigger it.
The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-126409 since 11/10/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.
There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
