CVE-2026-55099: icalendar has Algorithmic Complexity in Equality

August 25, 2026

Component.__eq__ compares subcomponents in O(2^n) time relative to nesting depth. Because the parser accepts arbitrarily nested components, a sub-kilobyte .ics file is enough to make a single equality check run for minutes or hang indefinitely. Any application that compares parsed components (==, !=, in, set/dict membership, deduplication, test assertions) against attacker-supplied calendar data is exposed to denial of service.
