Summary

Eclipse Langium versions in this range have an inefficient-algorithm flaw in the opt-in IndentationAwareTokenBuilder and IndentationAwareLexer, which an attacker can reach remotely without logging in by sending a crafted document of a few hundred kilobytes. That document can block the Node.js event loop for tens of seconds, denying service to every user served by the same process; languages built with the DefaultLexer and DefaultTokenBuilder are not affected.

Read the original description

Eclipse Langium versions 3.2.0 through 4.4.0 contain an inefficient algorithmic complexity issue (CWE-407) in the opt-in IndentationAwareTokenBuilder and IndentationAwareLexer. When producing DEDENT tokens, the token builder recomputes line numbers by re-scanning the entire preceding document text. A document whose indentation changes on most lines then takes quadratic time to tokenize. Because tokenization is synchronous, a crafted document of a few hundred kilobytes can block the Node.js event loop for tens of seconds. That causes a DoS for every user served by the same process. Languages built with the DefaultLexer and DefaultTokenBuilder are unaffected.

Questions about CVE-2026-124683

Is CVE-2026-124683 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
