CVE-2026-55865 PUBLISHED

Python Liquid: Infinite loop when parsing malformed `{% case %}` tags

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 17.06.2026 Published: 09.07.2026 Updated: 09.07.2026

Python Liquid is a Python engine for the Liquid template language. Prior to 2.2.1, given a malformed {% case %} tag without an associated {% when %} or {% else %} block and no terminating {% endcase %} tag, Python Liquid hangs in an infinite loop at parse time because liquid.TokenStream.eof did not give the EOF token matching kind and value fields, allowing malicious template authors to craft templates for a denial of service attack. This issue is fixed in version 2.2.1.
