CVE-2026-119139 — Wasmtime 46.0.0 before 48.0.6 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.3 Host Panic via Func::call

Wasmtime 46.0.0 before 48.0.6 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.3 contains a leftover assertion in component::Func::call that rejects guest exports using the async ABI option. An attacker who supplies a component with an async-lifted export can crash the host process when an embedder invokes that export through Func::call.

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
  • 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, errors and authentication anomalies.
