CVE-2026-115893 Details
Description
Wasmtime is a runtime for WebAssembly. Prior to 36.0.19, 48.0.7, and 49.0.4, the Cranelift compiler backend on aarch64 can compile a Wasm br_table instruction with more than approximately 256,000 targets so that it has an incorrect conditional branch target. The branch can then jump to arbitrary other code at a user-controlled offset, allowing a user-controlled Wasm module to escape the sandbox on aarch64 engines using the default Cranelift backend. This issue is fixed in versions 36.0.19, 48.0.7, and 49.0.4.
A vulnerability exists in Wasmtime's Cranelift compiler backend for Aarch64, prior to versions 36.0.19, 48.0.7, and 49.0.4. The issue arises when the compiler processes a WebAssembly `br_table` instruction with over approximately 256,000 targets. This can lead to an incorrect branch target, allowing the branch to jump to arbitrary code at a user-controlled offset. Consequently, a malicious WebAssembly module could escape the sandbox in Aarch64 engines using the default Cranelift backend.
Users can upgrade to Wasmtime versions 36.0.19, 48.0.7, or 49.0.4 to address this vulnerability.
