CVE-2026-59991: psd-tools composite/numpy has uncontrolled memory allocation via crafted PSD geometry

September 22, 2026

PSDImage.composite() (and .numpy()) allocate the output image buffer from the PSD’s header geometry (width × height × channels × depth, and per-layer rectangles) before validating those values against the actual file contents. A tiny crafted PSD declaring huge dimensions causes a multi-gigabyte allocation. Critically, composite() then returns a (black) image with only a warning, no exception is raised, so a caller cannot detect or guard against it.
