CVE-2026-61556

HighCVSS 8.7
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In LiquidJS from 10.26.0 to 10.27.1, the strip_html filter can enter an infinite loop when the input contains '<', has at least one preceding character, and no later '>'. This blocks template rendering and can cause denial of service with input as short as 'a<'.

Risk Assessment

The risk is denial of service via crafted input to templates, potentially blocking application functionality.

Recommendation

Upgrade LiquidJS to version 10.27.1 or later. Also validate input passed to filters.

Original NVD description (English source)

LiquidJS is a Shopify / GitHub Pages compatible template engine in pure JavaScript. From 10.26.0 until 10.27.1, the strip_html filter in src/filters/html.ts can enter an infinite loop when an input string contains <, includes at least one preceding character, and has no later >. In strip_html, the search for the next opener advances lt while the loop index remains unchanged when the closer search returns -1, and the equality-only stall guard does not exit because the loop index is less than lt. Reprocessing the same state indefinitely blocks template rendering and can cause denial of service with an input as short as a<. This issue is fixed in version 10.27.1.
