Answer in brief
CVE-2026-66858 records a High severity (CVSS 8.7) vulnerability in Apache Thrift, Apache Thrift, Apache Thrift, Apache Thrift, Apache Thrift, Apache Thrift: skip() does not apply the recursion limit (Python accelerator, PHP, Perl, Lua, Smalltalk, OCaml). The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Apache Software Foundation/apache/thrift (generic), Apache Software Foundation/Apache Thrift (generic), Apache Software Foundation/thrift (generic), Apache Software Foundation/Thrift (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.

HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 8.7. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

The protocol skip routine in several Apache Thrift bindings did not apply the binding's recursion limit, so a message that nests unknown fields deeply enough can exhaust the stack. Affected: the Python C++ accelerator (the pure-Python protocols are not affected), the PHP library and its thrift_protocol extension, and the Perl, Lua, Smalltalk and OCaml libraries. This issue affects Apache Thrift: before 0.25.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.25.0, which fixes the issue.
