Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Unfurl versions prior to 2026.04
Description Unfurl contains a flaw in the parse compressed.py component due to unbounded zlib decompression. Remote attackers can leverage this to cause a denial of service. Specifically, attackers can send large, compressed payloads through URL parameters to the /json/visjs API endpoint. These payloads expand to gigabytes, consuming server memory and leading to service crashes.
Recommendations Update to version 2026.04 or later.
