CVE-2026-77399

medium

Description

icalendar is an RFC 5545 compatible parser and generator of iCalendar files for Python. From 6.1.0 until 7.2.2, vInt.from_ical accepts an attacker-controlled VALARM REPEAT value and applications that request alarm times can eagerly expand it without an application-level limit. Alarms.times and Alarms.active reach the unbounded expansion in versions starting with 6.1.0, while Alarm.triggers adds a second affected path starting with 7.0.0. Parsing alone does not trigger the issue, but accessing these properties can consume excessive CPU time and heap memory and terminate or stall a service. This issue is fixed in version 7.2.2.
