CVE-2026-53653: Grav: Unauthenticated denial of service via unbounded image derivative dimensions
An unauthenticated visitor exhausts server memory and CPU by requesting an image with oversized resize dimensions. One request drives a worker to several gigabytes of RAM and tens of seconds of CPU. A few concurrent requests take the host down.
