CVE-2026-115390 — Wasmtime 47.0.0 before 48.0.3 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.1 Fuel Accounting Bypass DoS

Wasmtime 47.0.0 before 48.0.3 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.1 contains a fuel accounting flaw in Cranelift-compiled call_ref and try_table catch paths. Malicious guests can reset consumed fuel after calls to run exponentially long on linear fuel, evading timeouts and periodic yields for denial of service.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+2
  • Technical severity (medium)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Bytecodealliance Wasmtime).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Exploitation requires user interaction: tighten email/web filtering and warn affected users.
  4. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (denial of service), errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-115390 is "Wasmtime 47.0.0 before 48.0.3 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.1 Fuel Accounting Bypass DoS", rated Medium. It affects Wasmtime (Bytecodealliance); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 5.7 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.24% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
