GHSA-FC8X-2RWW-XW9M pypdf: Inefficient handling of non-whitespace inputs in read_until_whitespace

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to long runtimes. This requires a call to readuntilwhitespace with an input which does not have whitespace for a long time. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.15.0. Workarounds If you cannot upgrade yet, consider...

CVE-2026-82398

A flaw was found in pypdf. An attacker can craft a PDF that causes long runtimes when the readuntilwhitespace function processes a stream containing a long sequence of bytes without whitespace. This occurs due to inefficient algorithmic complexity, where the function repeatedly performs immutable...
