CVE-2026-74789

Scriban before 7.0.0 (affected <= 6.6.0) applies its LoopLimit constraint only to script loop statements and not to expensive iteration performed inside built-in operators and functions. As a result, a single expression such as {{ 1..1000000 | array.size }} — or a memory-amplification expression such as {{ 'A' * 200000000 }} — can force large CPU or memory consumption even when LoopLimit is configured to a very small value, resulting in denial of service. Applications that render attacker-controlled templates and rely on LoopLimit for safe execution are affected.

What the metrics mean

  • It is reachable over a network, without needing local access.
  • For an attacker who can reach it, no special conditions are needed to exploit it.
  • To exploit it, no account is needed.
  • Beyond that, no action by a user is required.
