CVE-2026-112405— Pillow: NULL pointer dereference in Image.merge via an unvalidated band 0
Quick assessment
Affected
python-pillow Pillow
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.
Pillow 是一个 Python 图像处理库。在版本 12.0.0 至 13.0.0 期间，Pillow 的 函数可能错误地解引用一个空的图像通道（plane）。由于验证逻辑跳过了第一个输入通道，导致一个由 存储后端支持的 32 位整数或浮点型图像，能够被当作更窄的多通道图像进行合并。攻击者可通过构造特殊的 IPTC 文件触发此问题（当应用程序打开并加载该文件时），或调用者也可直接使用此类第一个通道调用 。该漏洞会导致原生进程崩溃。此问题已在版本 13.0.0 中修复。

Vulnerability Title
Pillow: NULL pointer dereference in Image.merge via an unvalidated band 0
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 12.0.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow's Image.merge() can dereference a null image8 plane. Validation skips the first input band, allowing a 32-bit integer or floating-point image backed by image32 storage to be merged as a narrower multiband image. A crafted IPTC file can reach this path when an application opens and loads it, or a caller can invoke Image.merge() directly with such a first band. This causes a native process crash. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0.
