CVE-2026-124683Eclipse Foundation Eclipse Langium
NVD
Vulnerability Summary
Eclipse Langium versions 3.2.0 through 4.4.0 contain an inefficient algorithmic complexity issue (CWE-407) in the opt-in IndentationAwareTokenBuilder and IndentationAwareLexer. When producing DEDENT tokens, the token builder recomputes line numbers by re-scanning the entire preceding document text. A document whose indentation changes on most lines then takes quadratic time to tokenize. Because tokenization is synchronous, a crafted document of a few hundred kilobytes can block the Node.js event loop for tens of seconds. That causes a DoS for every user served by the same process. Languages built with the DefaultLexer and DefaultTokenBuilder are unaffected.
