CVE-2026-53954
Published:June 12, 2026
Updated:June 15, 2026
Summary In affected versions, Bugsink stores every tag supplied with an incoming event. An event with an unusually large number of custom (i.e. supplied by an attacker) tags can therefore make ingestion spend more time than intended writing tag rows. Bugsink uses a single-writer database architecture. That keeps the implementation simple, but it also means one expensive write transaction can delay other event digestion while it is running. In this case, it makes ingestion of other events wait until the transaction that writes the tags finishes, which effectively causes a temporary denial of service for other events. Impact Submitting such an event requires a valid project DSN. DSNs are sometimes visible in client-side applications, so they should not be treated as a strong security boundary, but the issue is still limited to ingestion for a Bugsink instance that accepts the event. The impact is availability-only. The issue does not expose stored data, modify existing events, or allow code execution. Mitigation Update to version 2.2.2, which caps the number of tags stored for a single event. The default cap is 100 tags and can be changed with "MAX_EVENT_TAGS".
