CVE-2026-54913

MediumCVSS 6.9
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

WebAssembly Micro Runtime (WAMR) prior to 2.4.5, load_init_expr accepts a non-reference heap-type byte for ref.null when WASM_ENABLE_GC=0, while the WASMValue cur_value union is not zero-initialized. A crafted module can declare an i64, f64, or v128 global initialized through the invalid ref.null form, causing uninitialized host-stack bytes to be copied into a guest-readable value.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can disclose uninitialized host stack data (4 or up to 12 bytes per global), potentially leading to information leakage. The classic and fast interpreters are affected in the default no-GC configuration.

Recommendation

Update WAMR to version 2.4.5 or later. If updating is not possible, consider enabling GC or avoid running untrusted Wasm modules.

Original NVD description (English source)

WebAssembly Micro Runtime (WAMR) is a lightweight standalone WebAssembly (Wasm) runtime. Prior to 2.4.5, load_init_expr in core/iwasm/interpreter/wasm_loader.c accepts a non-reference heap-type byte for ref.null when WASM_ENABLE_GC=0, while the local WASMValue cur_value union is not zero-initialized and setting ref_index writes only part of it. A crafted module can declare an i64, f64, or v128 global initialized through the invalid ref.null form, causing push_const_expr_stack and the later global initialization path to copy uninitialized host-stack bytes into a value readable by the guest. The classic and fast interpreters are affected in the default no-GC configuration; the GC-enabled path validates heap types. The disclosure is four bytes for i64 or f64 globals and up to twelve bytes for each v128 global. This issue is fixed in version 2.4.5.
