CVE-2026-114113 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-21

Sharp is a widely-used image processing library for Node.js applications. Versions before 0.35.0 bundle a vulnerable version of libvips that can be exploited by supplying crafted GIF, TIFF, or VIPS image files to applications processing untrusted images. Successful exploitation could lead to information disclosure, data corruption, or denial of service depending on the specific vulnerability triggered.
