  - Wasmtime 46.0.0 before 48.0.6 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.3 contains a denial of service vulnerability that
    allows malicious components to panic the host via thread.yield in start functions. Attackers can supply a
    component whose start function calls an async-lowered import then thread.yield, causing an undisposed
    fiber drop that crashes embedders. (CVE-2026-119140)
