Prior to version 0.1.11, the public parser entrypoint `ratex_parser::parse(&str)` panics on the 9-byte input `\\verbéxé` (i.e. `\\verb` followed by the non-ASCII delimiter `é`). When handling a `\\verb` command, the parser slices the verbatim argument with byte indices (`arg[1..arg.len() - 1]`); if the delimiter character is multibyte UTF-8, index `1` lands inside that character and Rust panics with *“byte index 1 is not a char boundary”*. Because RaTeX’s release profile sets `panic = \"abort\"` (`Cargo.toml:48`), the panic aborts the entire process — not just the current request/thread — making this a hard denial of service for any service that renders untrusted LaTeX. Version 0.1.11 fixes the issue." } ], "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-4hgp-59h5-gvrj", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" } }, "adp": [ { "references": [ { "url": "https://github.com/erweixin/RaTeX/security/advisories/GHSA-4hgp-59h5-gvrj", "tags": [ "exploit" ] } ], "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "timestamp": "2026-08-24T20:04:54.916424Z", "id": "CVE-2026-53530", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "poc" }, { "Automatable": "yes" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "role": "CISA Coordinator", "version": "2.0.3" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-08-24T20:05:00.628Z" } } ] } }
