GHSA-v66j-x4hw-fv9g: Scriban: Uncontrolled Memory Allocation via string.pad_left/pad_right Allows Remote Denial of Service

March 24, 2026 (updated July 6, 2026)

The built-in string.pad_left and string.pad_right template functions in Scriban perform no validation on the width parameter, allowing a template expression to allocate arbitrarily large strings in a single call. When Scriban is exposed to untrusted template input — as in the official Scriban.AppService playground deployed on Azure — an unauthenticated attacker can trigger ~1GB memory allocations with a 39-byte payload, crashing the service via OutOfMemoryException.
