CVE-2026-107212 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-10-08

Excelize is a Go library for reading and writing Excel spreadsheets. A specially crafted workbook with an oversized row number can cause the GetRows function and Rows iterator to loop billions of times, consuming a CPU core for hours or days. An attacker can trigger this by uploading a malicious Excel file to any application that processes untrusted workbooks.

Technologies: Excelize, github.com/360EntSecGroup-Skylar/excelize/v2 (Go), github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 (Go). Vendors: Excelize, Go.

Technical details

The Rows.Columns method reads row elements without validating the row number against the Excel limit (1,048,576 rows), whereas Rows.Next performs the check. When a valid row precedes an out-of-bounds row number, Columns consumes and caches the oversized value, causing subsequent Next() calls to iterate from the current row to that value without ever hitting the validation check. The vulnerability requires network access and no authentication, and denial of service is the only impact.
