msgpack5: Decoding negative int64 values mutates the input buffer
GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for msgpack5. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.
This report has not inspected your inventory, configuration, deployed build, reachability or evidence. A catalog listing and a severity score do not establish exposure or compromise.
01 / Meaning
Why it matters
Published affected context helps an owner decide what evidence to gather. This report has not examined your application.
3.7 low
GitHub source severity; exploitability and local consequence require separate evidence.

02 / Applicability
The affected context
Affected versions, configuration prerequisites and known exclusions are public. Confirm each one against the deployed service.
msgpack5
source listed< 6.1.0
### Impact Decoding a negative signed 64-bit integer modifies the corresponding bytes in the caller-provided input buffer. Applications that retain or reuse encoded input for integrity checks, logging, or subsequent processing may observe silently corrupted data. Positive integers and other MessagePack value types are not affected. ### Patches The decoder now computes signed 64-bit values without writing to the input buffer. ### Workarounds Copy untrusted MessagePack input before decoding it, or do not retain or reuse input buffers after decoding.
03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. FIRST EPSS
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
- NVD lastModified does not establish freshness of every associated CPE record.
05 / Provenance
Sources you can inspect
Each assertion retains its source. Mirrored records may repeat one underlying publisher; additional links are not independent corroboration.
