pypdf: Possible long runtimes/large memory usage for large CID font width ranges

ImpactAn attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to long runtimes and large memory consumption. This requires parsing the font width entries of a font with unusually large values, for example during text extraction. PatchesThis has been fixed in pypdf==6.15.0. Workarounds...

CVE-2026-71852

pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to 6.15.0, a crafted PDF can cause long runtimes and large memory consumption when pypdf/font.py function Font.collectcidcharacterwidths expands unusually large CID font /W width ranges or excessive width entries during text extractio...
