PYSEC-2026-4218

Vulnerability from pysec - Published: 2026-10-15 10:22 - Updated: 2026-10-15 14:37

Details

Impact

geopy.Point and Point.from_string() may take excessive CPU time when parsing long, malformed coordinate strings due to inefficient regular-expression behavior. The numeric Point constructor is not affected.

Geocoders' reverse methods called with string inputs exercise the vulnerable path.

Applications are affected when they pass attacker-controlled strings to these APIs without an appropriate length limit. Repeated requests may cause denial of service.

Patches

Fixed in geopy 2.5.0 by rejecting overly long (over 256 characters) coordinate strings before parsing.

Workarounds

Limit coordinate strings to a reasonable maximum length, such as 256 characters, before passing them to geopy.

Severity

4.0 (Medium)

CVE-2026-77387 (GCVE-0-2026-77387)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-10-01 16:38 – Updated: 2026-10-01 17:50

Title

geopy: Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in geopy.Point

Summary

geopy is a geocoding library for Python. Prior to 2.5.0, geopy.Point and Point.from_string() can spend excessive CPU time due to inefficient regular-expression behavior when an application passes a long malformed coordinate string without the 256-character input limit used by the fix. Geocoder reverse methods also reach the vulnerable parsing path when called with string inputs. Repeated attacker-controlled requests can cause a denial of service, while the numeric Point constructor is unaffected. This issue is fixed in version 2.5.0.

Severity

4 (Medium)
