CVE-2026-53781 PUBLISHED

Summarize < 0.17.0 Disk Exhaustion via Uncapped Media Download

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 10.06.2026 Published: 11.06.2026 Updated: 12.06.2026

Summarize before 0.17.0 contains a resource exhaustion vulnerability that allows remote attackers to cause disk exhaustion by serving media responses that bypass the enforced size limit through missing or misreported Content-Length headers, chunked transfer encoding, or failed HEAD requests. Attackers who control a podcast feed or media URL can stream an unbounded response to local storage via the temp-file download path, exhausting disk or system resources on the host running the CLI.
