CVE-2026-119135: Wasmtime panic in component model stream type mismatch

CVE-2026-119135 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.8 · Published 2026-10-29

Wasmtime is a WebAssembly runtime that executes untrusted code within applications. When host code reads a component model stream with a different Rust type than it was originally created with, Wasmtime panics and crashes the embedding process. This allows guest WebAssembly code to cause a denial of service by returning streams that the host reads as the wrong type.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: 48.0.6, 49.0.3

Technical details

The vulnerability occurs in Wasmtime's component model stream handling when a StreamReader is created as one type (T) and later read as a different type (U) that maps to the same component model type. The host-to-host read path asserts matching Rust TypeIds instead of returning an error, causing a panic. An attacker controlling guest code can trigger this by returning a stream with a type mismatch, crashing the host process.
