CVE-2026-112406— Pillow: Infinite loop in PdfParser.rewrite_pages on page tree Parent cycle
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 5.1.0 至 13.0.0 版本中，Pillow 在重写 PDF 页面时可能陷入无限循环。 方法在遍历页面树时未检测循环引用，仅沿 Parent（父节点）关系递归。攻击者可向将图像追加到 PDF 的应用程序提供包含循环结构的恶意 PDF，导致处理该文件的进程占用 100% CPU 资源，从而引发拒绝服务（DoS）攻击。该问题已在 13.0.0 版本中修复。

Vulnerability Title
Pillow: Infinite loop in PdfParser.rewrite_pages on page tree Parent cycle
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 5.1.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow can enter an infinite loop while rewriting PDF pages. PdfParser.rewrite_pages() follows Parent relationships without detecting a cycle in the page tree. An attacker can supply a cyclic PDF to an application that appends an image to that PDF. This can hold the worker at full CPU and deny service. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0.
