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.

LiquidJS is a Shopify/GitHub Pages compatible template engine. Prior to version 10.26.0, it is possible to execute arbitrary code with crafted templates. Version 10.26.0 patches the issue.
- CVE-2026-106120Medium
LiquidJS prior to 10.27.2 does not consistently enforce ownPropertyOnly for inherited array indices, as negative indexing, .first, .last, first/last filters, join, reverse, slice, compact, and for-loop iteration can read prototype-provided elements outside readJSProperty(). An attacker able to influence prototype state can disclose values that ownPropertyOnly is expected to hide.
- CVE-2026-69222High
In LiquidJS before 10.27.2, the join filter in src/filters/array.ts computes complexity from array length and separator length instead of the total string length. The concat filter can cheaply double arrays, and join then materializes content while charging only for element count, allowing a template to exceed memoryLimit. The array_to_sentence_string filter has a similar defect, potentially crashing the process.
- CVE-2026-55575High
In LiquidJS prior to version 10.27.1, the 'pop' array filter allocates a full clone of the input array without respecting the memoryLimit budget. This allows a template render like {{ huge_array | pop }} to allocate memory outside the configured limit.
- CVE-2026-45617High
LiquidJS is a Shopify/GitHub Pages compatible template engine that in versions 10.25.7 and below contains a flawed regex in the strip_html filter. This leads to ReDoS attacks via quadratic backtracking, blocking the Node.js event loop.
- CVE-2026-45357High
In versions 10.25.7 and below of the LiquidJS template engine, a vulnerability exists related to the date filter that improperly processes width specifiers, leading to unbounded string concatenation and bypassing memory and render limits.
- CVE-2026-44646Medium
In versions 10.25.7 and below, the LiquidJS template engine incorrectly propagates the ownPropertyOnly value from the parent context, leading to a silent bypass. As a result, developers may inadvertently expose prototype-chain properties in unsafe renders.
- CVE-2026-44645Medium
In versions 10.25.7 and below of the LiquidJS template engine, the renderLimit option can be fully bypassed by using an empty {% for %} or {% tablerow %} tag. This allows for unlimited rendering time consumption, potentially leading to DoS attacks.
- CVE-2026-44644Medium
LiquidJS, a template engine compatible with Shopify/GitHub Pages, has a vulnerability to XSS in versions 10.25.7 and below due to a flaw in the strip_html filter logic. This flaw allows bypassing HTML sanitization, enabling attackers to inject malicious code.
- CVE-2026-41311High
LiquidJS before version 10.25.7 is vulnerable to a DoS attack via circular block references in {% layout %} / {% block %}, causing memory exhaustion and Node.js process crash.
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.
