CVE-2026-55865

Python Liquid is a Python engine for the Liquid template language. Prior to 2.2.1, given a malformed {% case %} tag without an associated {% when %} or {% else %} block and no terminating {% endcase %} tag, Python Liquid hangs in an infinite loop at parse time because liquid.TokenStream.eof did not give the EOF token matching kind and value fields, allowing malicious template authors to craft templates for a denial of service attack. This issue is fixed in version 2.2.1.

This issue is fixed in version 2.2.1.

Impact

Given a malformed {% case %} tag without associated {% when %} or {% else %} block, and no terminating {% endcase %} tag, Python Liquid hangs in an infinite loop at parse time. This allows malicious template authors to craft templates for a denial of service attack.

Patches

The issue is fixed in version 2.2.1 with the correction of the liquid.TokenStream.eof attribute. The kind and value of the special EOF token are now the same, so either can be tested against liquid.token.TOKEN_EOF.

Workarounds

Manually correct the definition of liquid.TokenStream.eof before parsing any templates.

import liquid
from liquid.token import TOKEN_EOF

liquid.stream.TokenStream.eof = liquid.Token(TOKEN_EOF, TOKEN_EOF, -1, "")
