CVE-2026-66754 is a reachable assertion vulnerability in the Rust web framework Rouille, affecting versions 0.1.6 through 3.6.2. Request::remove_prefix can fail an assertion when a request's decoded path matches a configured prefix but its raw percent-encoded path does not. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger this condition with a crafted URL, causing an HTTP 500 error or full process termination depending on the application's panic configuration.
