If you cannot patch yet, consider limiting the size and complexity of incoming SOAP requests or deploying network-level protections to detect and block suspiciously deep XML payloads.
Description
CVE-2026-91765 is a high-severity vulnerability in the PHP SOAP XML parser where the cleanup_xml_node() function recurses without a depth limit. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to send a SOAP request with extremely deep nesting, causing stack exhaustion and crashing the SoapServer process. The unbounded recursion also affects the SOAP value decoder and WSDL node search helper.
