{"id":"CVE-2026-66920","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-66920","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T04:45:58.684Z","title":"Pivotick contains an uncontrolled-recursion vulnerability when processing caller-supplied graph and node data.","description":"Pivotick contains an uncontrolled-recursion vulnerability when processing caller-supplied graph and node data. The affected graph algorithms recursively traversed graph edges, while the JSON viewer recursively processed each level of a node’s data structure. A specially crafted graph containing an excessively long path, deeply nested properties, or circular object references could therefore exhaust the JavaScript call stack when Pivotick calculates a layout or displays a node in the inspection modal.\n\nSuccessful exploitation may cause an uncaught exception, freeze the affected page, or crash the browser tab, resulting in a client-side denial of service. No confidentiality or integrity impact has been identified.\n\nThe patch replaces the recursive graph traversals with iterative stack-based implementations and limits the reachability calculation to 1,000,000 edge traversals. It also limits JSON rendering to 64 levels and detects circular references before descending further into an object.","published":"2026-07-28T13:19:07.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-24T13:10:00.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"5a6e4751-2f3f-4070-9419-94fb35b644e8","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":8.2,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:H/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-400","CWE-674"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00428,"percentile":0.36857,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"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 (0.43%).
