CVE-2026-58472 is fixed in 5 products on 1 platform, first by wget 1.25.0-2ubuntu4.2, released July 7, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
GNU Wget through 1.25.0, fixed in commit dd692d9, contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the html_quote_string() function in src/convert.c that allows a remote attacker to trigger memory corruption by supplying a crafted HTML attribute with a large number of characters requiring entity encoding. A server-supplied HTML attribute causes a signed integer counter to overflow during output size accumulation, resulting in an undersized heap allocation and subsequent heap buffer overflow during the copy phase.
