CVE-2026-62866

Summary

The flaw in Dasel allows an attacker to cause a panic due to index-out-of-range errors by providing input ending in whitespace. This matters because it can lead to service disruption.

Exploitability

Exploitation is moderately easy if an attacker can control the input, requiring knowledge of the specific whitespace pattern that triggers the issue.

Blast radius

If exploited, this could potentially disrupt services using Dasel, but the impact is limited to those applications and environments where untrusted input is processed without proper validation.

Prioritized remediation

Update to Dasel version 3.11.2 or later to mitigate the risk of index-out-of-range panics.
