MessagePack for C# is a MessagePack serializer for C#. Prior to 2.5.301 and 3.1.7, InterfaceLookupFormatter constructs an internal Dictionary> with the default equality comparer instead of the security-aware comparer supplied by options.Security.GetEqualityComparer(). This formatter omission allows hash-collision CPU denial of service against ILookup even when the application has opted into the untrusted-data security posture This vulnerability is fixed in 2.5.301 and 3.1.7.
CVE-2026-48516
This high-severity CVE scores 7.5 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 86% 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).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
