CVE-2026-115380 Details
Description
Wasmtime before 36.0.17, 37.0.0 before 48.0.4, and 49.0.0 before 49.0.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the wasmtime-wasi WASI preview 0 poll_oneoff adapter, which performs O(n) host work per subscription without consuming or checking fuel. Malicious guest modules can pass many subscriptions to force long-running host computation that ignores configured fuel limits.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Wasmtime versions prior to 36.0.17, 37.0.0 prior to 48.0.4, and 49.0.0 prior to 49.0.2. The issue resides in the Wasmtime-WASI implementation of the WASI preview 0 'poll_oneoff' adapter. This adapter performs host work that scales linearly with the number of subscriptions, without properly managing or checking fuel consumption. As a result, malicious guest modules can exploit this by sending numerous subscriptions, leading to prolonged host processing that disregards established fuel limits. This vulnerability is particularly concerning for systems using the Wasmtime command-line interface, where WASI preview 0 is enabled by default.
Users can upgrade to Wasmtime versions 36.0.17, 48.0.4, or 49.0.2 to address this vulnerability. For those using the Wasmtime CLI, WASI preview 0 support can be disabled by adding the option '-Spreview0=n'.
