Qiskit could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service due to a stack overflow during deserialization of QPY payloads. A malicious QPY payload can trigger a segmentation fault, causing the application to crash when deserializing untrusted input.
CVE-2026-19795
This medium-severity CVE scores 6.2 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.1%, top 98% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
