Attackers can repeatedly trigger wavelet-denoise processing under resource-constrained conditions to leak memory and degrade service availability.","published":"2026-10-12T17:17:20.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-13T20:39:49.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"disclosure@vulncheck.com","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":6.3,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-401"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00366,"percentile":0.30237,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-13","score":0.00366,"percentile":0.28608}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.37%).
