UBUNTU-CVE-2026-54911 (CVE-2026-54911)
Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2026-06-22 22:16 – Updated: 2026-06-24 09:03 – Source websiteUltraJSON is a fast JSON encoder and decoder written in pure C with bindings for Python 3.7+. Prior to 5.13.0, ujson.dumps() (or ujson.dump() or ujson.encode()) have a reject_bytes=False option. When set, they may accept malformed or truncated UTF-8 byte sequences, silently rewriting them into different Unicode characters instead of rejecting them. This leads to input validation bypass and data integrity issues. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.13.0.
