Affected Components: Mindbreeze InSpire, Mindbreeze InSpire SaaS
Severity: 6.9 Medium
Status: Final
First published: September 9, 2026
CVEs: CVE-2026-50219, CVE-2026-56131, CVE-2026-56132, CVE-2026-56403, CVE-2026-56404, CVE-2026-56405, CVE-2026-56406, CVE-2026-56407, CVE-2026-56408, CVE-2026-56409, CVE-2026-56410, CVE-2026-56411, CVE-2026-56412
Summary
- libexpat before 2.8.2 lacks handler call depth tracking for calls to XML_GetBuffer, XML_Parse, XML_ParseBuffer, XML_ParserFree, or XML_ParserReset from within handlers in cases of a policy violation. Thus, a use-after-free can occur
- libexpat before 2.8.2 lacks handler call depth tracking for calls to XML_ResumeParser from within handlers in cases of a policy violation. Thus, a use-after-free can occur (similar to the CVE-2026-50219 situation).
- In libexpat before 2.8.2, there is a heap-based buffer overflow in doProlog in xmlparse.c because scaffold backing array reallocation is mishandled when there is data-structure sharing across parsers.
- libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in storeAtts.
- libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in addBinding.
- libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in getAttributeId.
- libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in XML_ParseBuffer because it lacked a check that was present in XML_Parse.
- libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in doProlog that is related to storeEntityValue and entity textLen.
- libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in copyString.
- xmlwf in libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow for the output filename when -d outputDir is used.
- xmlwf in libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in resolveSystemId.
- xmlwf in libexpat before 2.8.2 has an integer overflow in endDoctypeDecl via NOTATION declarations.
- libexpat before 2.8.2 does not consider XML_TOK_DATA_CHARS in doCdataSection and thus lacks handler call depth tracking for various calls from within handlers in cases of a policy violation. Thus, a use-after-free can occur. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-50219.
