Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for ujson.

CVE-2026-32874[0]:
| UltraJSON is a fast JSON encoder and decoder written in pure C with
| bindings for Python 3.7+. Versions 5.4.0 through 5.11.0 contain an
| accumulating memory leak in JSON parsing large (outside of the range
| [-2^63, 2^64 - 1]) integers. The leaked memory is a copy of the
| string form of the integer plus an additional NULL byte. The leak
| occurs irrespective of whether the integer parses successfully or is
| rejected due to having more than sys.get_int_max_str_digits()
| digits, meaning that any sized leak per malicious JSON can be
| achieved provided that there is no limit on the overall size of the
| payload. Any service that calls
| ujson.load()/ujson.loads()/ujson.decode() on untrusted inputs is
| affected and vulnerable to denial of service attacks. This issue has
| been fixed in version 5.12.0.
