CVE-2026-53503: Thumbor convolution filter allows divide-by-zero in C extension leading to remote DoS

July 31, 2026

Thumbor’s filters:convolution(<matrix>, <columns>, <should_normalize>) filter passes the user-controlled <columns> value to a C extension (thumbor/ext/filters/_convolution.c) where it is used as a divisor (for % and /) without validating columns > 0. When columns=0, the C code triggers undefined behavior; on x86_64 this reliably results in a fatal divide-by-zero trap (SIGFPE) and crashes the Thumbor process (confirmed on Linux x86_64 and macOS Intel x86_64), causing a remote denial of service.
