CVE-2026-104861
Description
A flaw was found in probe-image-size. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by supplying specially crafted Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) input. Due to inefficient pattern matching and input handling during SVG parsing, processing unclosed tags can consume excessive CPU resources and block the application event loop, leaving the service unresponsive.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Resource Consumption (CPU)
Attackers can create crafted inputs that intentionally cause the regular expression to use excessive backtracking in a way that causes the CPU consumption to spike.
