CVE-2026-45357

harttle liquidjs

LiquidJS is a Shopify/GitHub Pages compatible template engine written in pure JavaScript. In versions 10.25.7 and below, the date filter's strftime implementation parses width specifiers like %9999999d and forwards the captured width unchecked into pad()/padStart(), leading to memory and render limit bypass. In src/util/underscore.ts, the pad loop performs unbounded string concatenation without consulting the Context's memoryLimit or renderLimit, so a single small template ({{ x | date: '%5000000d' }}) produces megabytes of output and unbounded CPU. The memoryLimit and renderLimit options t...
