      Wasmtime sandbox escape on aarch64 via huge br_table (CVSS 9.9); fixed in 36.0.19, 48.0.7, 49.0.4

      CVE-2026-115893 (GHSA-mghf-wjfp-p5xm, RUSTSEC-2026-0379), published Oct 23, is a Cranelift code-generation bug on 64-bit Arm: a Wasm br_table with roughly 256,000 or more targets can compile to a wrong jump target, letting a guest module escape the sandbox. It matters to anyone running untrusted WebAssembly with Wasmtime on aarch64, such as plugin hosts and edge or serverless platforms; x86-64 is not named as affected. Fixed releases are 36.0.19, 48.0.7 and 49.0.4, which also roll up several smaller wasmtime-wasi fixes including a symlink-rename filesystem escape (RUSTSEC-2026-0352). A related truncation bug, CVE-2026-115889, is fixed in 36.0.19 and 43.0.0. No public exploit or in-the-wild use is reported.

      What to do

      Bump wasmtime (and wasmtime-wasi) to 36.0.19, 48.0.7, 49.0.4 or later wherever you run untrusted Wasm, prioritising Arm hosts.

How this works

Critical: act nowHigh: this weekMedium: check exposureContext

Four times a day (06:00, 12:00, 18:00 and 21:00 Eastern), Claude reads advisory and malware feeds, including cve.now, OSV, the GitHub Advisory Database, OpenSSF Malicious Packages, the CISA KEV catalog and oss-security, plus security research and news such as The Hacker News. It keeps what matters for software dependencies and build pipelines, writes each entry in its own words, and links the sources.

Entries are triage notes, not full advisories. "Am I affected?" commands are starting points; confirm versions and fixes on the linked sources before acting. EPSS is FIRST's estimate of the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
