CVE-2026-60081Public exploit

Parsing-process crash via unbounded path index

Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026

Resource exhaustion in DBI::ProfileData before 1.651 allows attackers to crash the parsing process via a crafted profile dump file. In _read_body, an unbounded path index sets the size of @path, which is then joined and copied, amplifying a tiny input into heavy memory use. Exploitation requires the parser to process an untrusted dump crossing a file or workflow trust boundary; it does not affect normal database input or enable code execution.
