Snappier: Infinite loop in SnappyStream decompression on malformed framed input

Collected exploitation and prediction evidence

Risk source coverage

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

CVE-2026-44302

No KEV entry is attached to this observation; this is not evidence that exploitation is absent.

Published

Snappier is a high performance C# implementation of the Snappy compression algorithm. Prior to 1.3.1, Snappier.SnappyStream enters an uncatchable infinite loop when decompressing a malformed framed-format Snappy stream as small as 15 bytes. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.1.

### Summary `Snappier.SnappyStream` enters an uncatchable infinite loop when decompressing a malformed framed-format Snappy stream as small as 15 bytes. ### Details The hang manifests as a userspace busy loop with SnappyStreamDecompressor.Decompress repeatedly calling Crc32CAlgorithm.Append. The exact non-terminating loop in or above Decompress has not been traced further. ### PoC ```csharp using System.IO.Compression; using Snappier; byte[] data = { 0x00, 0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x64, 0x4e, 0x6c, 0x71, 0x79, 0x20, 0x77, 0x6f, 0x72, 0x6c, 0x64 }; using var src = new MemoryStream(data); using var snap = new SnappyStream(src, CompressionMode.Decompress); using var dst = new MemoryStream(); snap.CopyTo(dst); // never returns ``` ### Impact A caller using `SnappyStream` on attacker-controlled bytes can be made to spin forever and burn a thread until the process is killed. `try/catch` around the stream operation can't recover (no exception is thrown).
