CVE-2026-45357

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

LiquidJS is a Shopify/GitHub Pages compatible template engine written in pure JavaScript. In versions 10.25.7 and below, the date filter's strftime implementation parses width specifiers like %9999999d and forwards the captured width unchecked into pad()/padStart(), leading to memory and render limit bypass. In src/util/underscore.ts, the pad loop performs unbounded string concatenation without consulting the Context's memoryLimit or renderLimit, so a single small template ({{ x | date: '%5000000d' }}) produces megabytes of output and unbounded CPU. The memoryLimit and renderLimit options the docs (src/liquid-options.ts:87-92) advertise as DoS controls — and which the docstring explicitly mentions for strftime — are entirely bypassed. Exploitation can cause large memory allocations, high CPU usage, or OOM crashes per render. This issue has been fixed in version 10.26.0.

      "value": "LiquidJS es un motor de plantillas compatible con Shopify/GitHub Pages escrito en JavaScript puro. En las versiones 10.25.7 e inferiores, la implementación de strftime del filtro de fecha analiza especificadores de ancho como %9999999d y reenvía el ancho capturado sin verificar a pad()/padStart(), lo que lleva a la omisión de los límites de memoria y renderizado. En src/util/underscore.ts, el bucle de relleno realiza una concatenación de cadenas ilimitada sin consultar memoryLimit o renderLimit del Contexto, por lo que una única plantilla pequeña ({{ x | date: ’%5000000d’ }}) produce megabytes de salida y un uso ilimitado de CPU. Las opciones memoryLimit y renderLimit que la documentación (src/liquid-options.ts:87-92) anuncia como controles de DoS -y que la cadena de documentación menciona explícitamente para strftime- son completamente omitidas. La explotación puede causar grandes asignaciones de memoria, alto uso de CPU o fallos OOM por renderizado. Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 10.26.0."
