Graphite: Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound)
CVE-2026-50593 is a high-severity integer underflow (wrap or wraparound) vulnerability in Graphite from Graphite Project, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. The record lists version 1.3.15 as the first without the flaw, so updating Graphite to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.11% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Graphite to 1.3.15 or a later version.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.

Official description
Graphite before 1.3.15 has an integer underflow and resultant out-of-bounds write via Graphite actions, because slotat does not ensure that an offset is within the allowed slot-map range.
Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound)
The product subtracts one value from another, such that the result is less than the minimum allowable integer value, which produces a value that is not equal to the correct result.
