CVE-2026-108093

MediumCVSS 5.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A flaw was found in GIMP. The XCF loader processes image-simulation-intent and image-simulation-bpc parasites without ensuring the parasite data is present before dereferencing it. Opening a specially crafted XCF file with a zero-size simulation parasite can cause a NULL pointer dereference and crash the GIMP application.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could deliver a malicious XCF file, causing an application crash (denial of service). This may disrupt user work and potentially lead to loss of unsaved data.

Recommendation

Update GIMP to a patched version. Avoid opening XCF files from untrusted sources.
