CVE-2026-25680: CWE-407: Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity in golang.org/x/net golang.org/x/net/html
Parsing arbitrary HTML can consume excessive CPU time, possibly leading to denial of service.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CWE-407) in golang.org/x/net/html involves inefficient algorithmic complexity during HTML parsing, which can cause excessive CPU usage. The issue arises when parsing arbitrary HTML input, potentially enabling denial of service through resource exhaustion. The CVE is published but lacks a CVSS score and vendor-provided remediation details. No patch links or fixes are currently documented, and no exploits are known in the wild.
Potential Impact
The impact is a potential denial of service condition due to excessive CPU consumption when parsing crafted HTML input. This could degrade service availability or performance for applications using the affected package. There is no evidence of code execution or data leakage from the provided information.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, consider limiting or validating HTML input to reduce risk of triggering excessive CPU usage. Monitor vendor channels for updates regarding patches or mitigations.
