A 75-byte PFX file with a negative MacData iteration count kept Pkcs12Store.Load busy for many minutes.","published":"2026-10-02T08:17:03.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-02T20:17:04.000Z","status":"Undergoing Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"91579145-5d7b-4cc5-b925-a0262ff19630","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":7.1,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/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-835"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00194,"percentile":0.08979,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-10-02","score":0.00194,"percentile":0.08167}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.19%).
