CVE-2026-57204 PUBLISHED

pypdf: Missing stream length values ignore defined limits

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 24.06.2026 Published: 30.06.2026 Updated: 01.07.2026

pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to 6.13.3, a maliciously crafted PDF can cause DoS. An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory usage, as MAX_DECLARED_STREAM_LENGTH is sometimes ignored. This requires parsing a content stream without a /Length value. This issue has been fixed in version 6.13.3.
