{"cve":"CVE-2026-96780","nvd":{"published":"2026-10-01T21:17:26.207","modified":"2026-10-02T18:47:49.947","status":"Deferred","description":"figlet.js is a FIG driver written in JavaScript that aims to implement the FIGfont specification. Prior to 1.11.3, text() and textSync() can enter an unbounded loop when whitespaceBreak is enabled and width is smaller than the rendered width of a single FIGlet character. Under these conditions, breakWord() cannot find a valid break point and returns without consuming a character, so generateFigTextLines() repeatedly processes the same input while consuming CPU and growing memory. The non-default option and attacker-controlled width must both reach an affected call. This issue is fixed in version 1.11.3.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":8.2},"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-835"],"references":["https://github.com/patorjk/figlet.js/commit/cb2839d0e53aeafbd361e9587abc72e49e41cbb3","https://github.com/patorjk/figlet.js/pull/169","https://github.com/patorjk/figlet.js/security/advisories/GHSA-62ch-8vmq-8xm7"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:57:46.668721662+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-96780","score":0.00495,"percentile":0.42205,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-62ch-8vmq-8xm7","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-62ch-8vmq-8xm7","summary":"figlet is vulnerable to denial of service via unbounded loop when whitespaceBreak is used with a small width","modified":"2026-10-02T23:01:22.706221290Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"figlet","purl":"pkg:npm/figlet","ranges":["<1.11.3"],"fixed":["1.11.3"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
