CVE-2026-88358
Published: September 26, 2026Last modified: October 15, 2026
Description
simdjson 4.6.1 contains a one-byte out-of-bounds read vulnerability in dom::parser::parse_unpadded(). A specially crafted truncated JSON document whose final structural token closes a nested array or object can cause json_iterator::walk_document() to access buf[len] after the input buffer has been exhausted. This results in a heap out-of-bounds read and may cause application termination, leading to denial of service.
