- psd-tools is a Python package for working with Adobe Photoshop PSD files. Prior to 1.17.4,
PSDImage.composite() and PSDImage.numpy() allocated output buffers from attacker-controlled PSD header
geometry, including width, height, channels, depth, and per-layer rectangles, before validating those
values against the available file data. A tiny crafted PSD could therefore cause multi-gigabyte memory
allocation, and PSDImage.composite() could return a black image with only a warning instead of raising an
exception. Services that composite untrusted PSD files could be terminated by out-of-memory handling. This
issue is fixed in version 1.17.4. (CVE-2026-59991)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
