CVE-2026-67215 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in cJSON through version 1.7.19 affecting RFC 6902 JSON Patch handling. When untrusted patch input is processed by cJSONUtils_ApplyPatches() or cJSONUtils_ApplyPatchesCaseSensitive(), a crafted sequence of add and copy operations can graft duplicated subtrees and progressively amplify document depth beyond the parser's normal nesting limit. In the resulting object graph, cleanup via cJSON_Delete() performs recursive traversal without a depth bound, and the duplication guard in cJSON_Duplicate() uses CJSON_CIRCULAR_LIMIT set to 10000, substantially above the parser's 1000-level nesting limit. This mismatch allows attacker-controlled patch input to drive recursion deep enough to exhaust the thread stack and terminate the process.
