Wasmtime: Cranelift backend on aarch64 can jump to incorrect target on large Wasm `br_table` instruction
Not on CISA's list of exploited flaws, and not in the news we track.
CVE-2026-115893Critical9.9
Black Shard's team can check your exposure to CVE-2026-115893 and take the fix off your plate.
Wasmtime is a runtime for WebAssembly. Prior to 36.0.19, 48.0.7, and 49.0.4, the Cranelift compiler backend on aarch64 can compile a Wasm br_table instruction with more than approximately 256,000 targets so that it has an incorrect conditional branch target. The branch can then jump to arbitrary other code at a user-controlled offset, allowing a user-controlled Wasm module to escape the sandbox on aarch64 engines using the default Cranelift backend. This issue is fixed in versions 36.0.19, 48.0.7, and 49.0.4.
