Vulnerability · CVE-2026-10118
A flaw was found in Poppler's Splash backend.
Published Jun 1, 2026 · corrected/updated Oct 2, 2026 · evidence confidence medium
A flaw was found in Poppler's Splash backend. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious PDF file that, when rendered, triggers an integer overflow in the function. This overflow leads to an undersized heap memory allocation, allowing a subsequent out-of-bounds write. Successful exploitation could result in arbitrary code execution, information disclosure, or denial of service within the context of the application processing the PDF.
