{"schema":"threatline.record/2","record":{"id":"CVE-2026-44033","aliases":[],"summary":"Uncontrolled recursion in the DCMTK bundled XML parser allows denial of service","details":"Uncontrolled recursion in XMLNode::ParseXMLElement() and XMLNode::emptyTheNode() in the bundled XML parser (ofstd/libsrc/ofxml.cc) of OFFIS DCMTK 3.7.0 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (stack exhaustion and process crash) via a crafted XML document with deeply nested elements. The parser is reachable through dcmencap when encapsulating a CDA document, and through any application that calls OFXMLParser::parseFile() or OFXMLParser::parseString() on untrusted input. The issue is fixed in commit d12e350e687530eb41e2b0c860aff4d8c04e5941.","categories":["Unclassified"],"product":"DCMTK","vendor":"OFFIS","ecosystem":null,"affected_ranges":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-44033","source_modified_at":"2026-10-08T14:10:14.331Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:48:36.087640Z","product":"DCMTK","vendor":"OFFIS","versions":[{"version":"3.7.0","status":"affected"}],"defaultStatus":"unknown"}],"fixed_versions":[],"cvss":6.8,"severity":"Medium","kev":{"listed":false},"epss":{"probability":0.00105,"percentile":0.01027,"score_date":"2026-10-23"},"published_at":"2026-10-08T12:55:08.231Z","modified_at":"2026-10-08T14:10:14.331Z","provenance":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-44033","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:48:36.087640Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-08T14:10:14.331Z"},{"source":"EPSS","url":"https://api.first.org/data/v1/epss?cve=CVE-2026-44033","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23"}],"sources":["CVE List","EPSS"],"references":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://support.dcmtk.org/redmine/issues/1214","tags":["issue-tracking","vendor-advisory"]},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://github.com/DCMTK/dcmtk/commit/d12e350e687530eb41e2b0c860aff4d8c04e5941","tags":["patch"]}],"locations":[],"motoko_assessment":{"status":"requires_architecture_review","automatic_remediation":false},"cve_state":"PUBLISHED","cvss_source":"CVE List","ssvc":{"exploitation":"none","automatable":"no","technical_impact":"partial","assessed_at":"2026-10-08T14:10:03.806437Z"},"classification":{"method":"product-first software-layer rules","rules_version":"2.1","matched_on":null,"confidence":"unknown","reviewed":false},"change_timestamp":"2026-10-08T14:10:14.331Z","content_hash":"1ed0c1a1dcd1c90a52cec08f614454cc43c367c955f4d053cd90caa23350a529"}}
