CVE-2026-0994

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions google.protobuf (affected versions not specified)

Description A denial-of-service (DoS) issue exists in the ParseDict() function within google.protobuf.json format in Python. The vulnerability occurs because the max recursion depth limit can be bypassed when parsing nested google.protobuf.Any messages. Specifically, missing recursion depth accounting within the internal Any-handling logic allows an attacker to supply deeply nested Any structures that circumvent the intended recursion limit. This can exhaust Python’s recursion stack, resulting in a RecursionError.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
