{"id":"GHSA-p6q4-fgr8-vx4p","summary":"Scriban has a Stack Overflow via Nested Array Initializers That Bypass the ExpressionDepthLimit Fix","details":"### Summary\nStackOverflowException via nested array initializers bypasses ExpressionDepthLimit fix (GHSA-wgh7-7m3c-fx25)\n\n### Details\nThe recent fix for GHSA-wgh7-7m3c-fx25 (uncontrolled recursion in parser) added `ExpressionDepthLimit` defaulting to 250. However, deeply nested **array initializers** (`[[[[...`) recurse through `ParseArrayInitializer` → `ParseExpression` → `ParseArrayInitializer`, which is a **different recursion path** not covered by the expression depth counter.\n\nThis causes a `StackOverflowException` on current main (commit b5ac4bf - \"Add limits for default safety\").\n\n### PoC\n```\nusing Scriban;\n\n// ExpressionDepthLimit (default 250) does NOT prevent this crash\nstring nested = \"{{ \" + new string('[', 5000) + \"1\" + new string(']', 5000) + \" }}\";\nTemplate.Parse(nested); // StackOverflowException - process terminates\n```\n\n### Impact\nSame as GHSA-wgh7-7m3c-fx25: High severity. StackOverflowException cannot be caught with try/catch in .NET - the process terminates immediately. Any application calling Template.Parse with untrusted input is vulnerable, even with the new default ExpressionDepthLimit enabled.","aliases":["CVE-2026-74792"],"modified":"2026-08-17T03:55:58.372247404Z","published":"2026-03-24T22:06:24Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-674"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-24T22:06:24Z","nvd_published_at":null},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/scriban/scriban/security/advisories/GHSA-p6q4-fgr8-vx4p"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-wgh7-7m3c-fx25"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/scriban/scriban"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"Scriban","ecosystem":"NuGet","purl":"pkg:nuget/Scriban"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"7.0.0"}]}],"versions":["0.1.0","0.10.0","0.11.0","0.12.0","0.12.1","0.13.0","0.14.0","0.15.0","0.16.0","0.2.0","0.2.1","0.2.2","0.3.0","0.3.1","0.3.1-pre028","0.4.0","0.5.0","0.6.0","0.7.0","0.9.0","0.9.0-pre100","0.9.1","1.0.0","1.0.0-beta-001","1.0.0-beta-002","1.0.0-beta-003","1.0.0-beta-004","1.0.0-beta-005","1.0.0-beta-006","1.1.0","1.1.1","1.2.0","1.2.1","1.2.2","1.2.3","1.2.4","1.2.5","1.2.6","1.2.7","1.2.8","1.2.9","2.0.0","2.0.0-alpha-001","2.0.0-alpha-002","2.0.0-alpha-003","2.0.0-alpha-004","2.0.0-alpha-005","2.0.0-alpha-006","2.0.1","2.1.0","2.1.1","2.1.2","2.1.3","2.1.4","3.0.0","3.0.1","3.0.2","3.0.3","3.0.4","3.0.5","3.0.6","3.0.7","3.1.0","3.2.0","3.2.1","3.2.2","3.3.0","3.3.1","3.3.2","3.3.3","3.4.0","3.4.1","3.4.2","3.5.0","3.6.0","3.7.0","3.8.0","3.8.1","3.8.2","3.9.0","4.0.0","4.0.1","4.0.2","4.1.0","5.0.0","5.1.0","5.10.0","5.11.0","5.12.0","5.12.1","5.2.0","5.3.0","5.4.0","5.4.1","5.4.2","5.4.3","5.4.4","5.4.5","5.4.6","5.5.0","5.5.1","5.5.2","5.6.0","5.7.0","5.8.0","5.9.0","5.9.1","6.0.0","6.1.0","6.2.0","6.2.1","6.3.0","6.4.0","6.5.0","6.5.1","6.5.2","6.5.3","6.5.4","6.5.5","6.5.6","6.5.7","6.5.8","6.6.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-p6q4-fgr8-vx4p/GHSA-p6q4-fgr8-vx4p.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Scriban.Signed","ecosystem":"NuGet","purl":"pkg:nuget/Scriban.Signed"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"7.0.0"}]}],"versions":["0.10.0","0.11.0","0.12.0","0.12.1","0.13.0","0.14.0","0.15.0","0.16.0","0.9.0","0.9.1","1.0.0","1.0.0-beta-001","1.0.0-beta-002","1.0.0-beta-003","1.0.0-beta-004","1.0.0-beta-005","1.0.0-beta-006","1.1.0","1.1.1","1.2.0","1.2.1","1.2.2","1.2.3","1.2.4","1.2.5","1.2.6","1.2.7","1.2.8","1.2.9","2.0.0","2.0.0-alpha-001","2.0.0-alpha-002","2.0.0-alpha-003","2.0.0-alpha-004","2.0.0-alpha-005","2.0.0-alpha-006","2.0.1","2.1.0","2.1.1","2.1.2","2.1.3","2.1.4","3.0.0","3.0.1","3.0.2","3.0.3","3.0.4","3.0.5","3.0.6","3.0.7","3.1.0","3.2.0","3.2.1","3.2.2","3.3.0","3.3.1","3.3.2","3.3.3","3.4.0","3.4.1","3.4.2","3.5.0","3.6.0","3.7.0","3.8.0","3.8.1","3.8.2","3.9.0","4.0.0","4.0.1","4.0.2","4.1.0","5.0.0","5.1.0","5.10.0","5.11.0","5.12.0","5.12.1","5.2.0","5.3.0","5.4.0","5.4.1","5.4.2","5.4.3","5.4.4","5.4.5","5.4.6","5.5.0","5.5.1","5.5.2","5.6.0","5.7.0","5.8.0","5.9.0","5.9.1","6.0.0","6.1.0","6.2.0","6.2.1","6.3.0","6.4.0","6.5.0","6.5.1","6.5.2","6.5.3","6.5.4","6.5.5","6.5.6","6.5.7","6.5.8","6.6.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-p6q4-fgr8-vx4p/GHSA-p6q4-fgr8-vx4p.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
