CVE-2026-114111
Description
A flaw was found in sharp. The component includes a vulnerable bundled librsvg dependency that is susceptible to memory corruption. An attacker can exploit this issue by providing a specially crafted Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) image for processing, which may lead to arbitrary code execution on the host system.
Statement
This vulnerability is evaluated as an Important severity because processing untrusted vector graphics can trigger memory corruption, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the host application process. In Red Hat environments, Node.js binaries are built with position-independent executable (PIE) hardening by default, which provides defense-in-depth and increases exploitation complexity. Exposure is primarily limited to deployments where the sharp library parses unvalidated SVG files provided by untrusted users.
Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Memory
If the expired pointer is used in a read operation, an attacker might be able to control data read in by the application.
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
If the expired pointer references a memory location that is not accessible to the product, or points to a location that is "malformed" (such as NULL) or larger than expected by a read or write operation, then a crash may occur.
Integrity,Confidentiality,Availability
Technical Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
If the expired pointer is used in a function call, or points to unexpected data in a write operation, then code execution may be possible.
