How severe is CVE-2026-25577?

CVE-2026-25577 has a CVSS score of 7.5/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-25577?

CVE-2026-25577 affects the following packages: emmett-core (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix CVE-2026-25577?

Update emmett-core to 1.3.11 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-25577 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-25577 in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for emmett-core. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-25577 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-25577?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-25577 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2026-25577 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-25577 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-25577?

CVE-2026-25577 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 19th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

When was CVE-2026-25577 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-25577 was published on February 10, 2026 and was last updated on April 10, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Emmett is a framework designed to simplify your development process. Prior to 1.3.11, the cookies property in mmett_core.http.wrappers.Request does not handle CookieError exceptions when parsing malformed Cookie headers. This allows unauthenticated attackers to trigger HTTP 500 errors and cause denial of service. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.11.
