Go-Billy · Go-Billy · CVE-2026-44740
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
go-billy versions prior to v5
**Description**
Multiple components improperly handle crafted or malformed input, which can lead to panics, infinite loops, uncontrolled recursion, or excessive resource consumption.
