CVE-2026-55254

medium

Description

NCalc is a fast, lightweight expression evaluator for .NET. Prior to 6.1.1, the factorial operator implementation in src/NCalc.Core/Helpers/MathHelper.cs permits specially crafted expressions with extremely large factorial operands, causing excessive CPU consumption or a non-terminating loop due to integer overflow in the factorial calculation logic when applications evaluate untrusted expressions. This issue is fixed in version 6.1.1.
