NewCVE-2026-32875 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade ujson to version 5.12.0 or higher.
Overview
ujson is an Ultra fast JSON encoder and decoder for Python
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound via the indent parameter in the dumps(), dump(), or encode() functions. An attacker can cause a crash or infinite loop by supplying large or negative values for indent, leading to excessive memory allocation or unbounded processing.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by using a fixed, non-negative, and reasonably small value for the indent parameter (below 2**31/max_recursion_depth_as_limited_by_stack_size), or by disabling indentation altogether.
