CVE-2026-48515: MessagePack-CSharp: Multi-dimensional array formatters allocate from unchecked dimensions

June 25, 2026

MessagePack-CSharp’s multi-dimensional array formatters read dimension lengths directly from the payload and allocate T[,], T[,,], or T[,,,] before validating that the dimension product matches the encoded element count.

The formatter reads a guarded element array header, but allocation of the target multi-dimensional array happens before the dimensions are checked against that element count. A small payload can therefore declare large dimensions, provide an empty or tiny inner array, and cause a large heap allocation before element data is validated.
