Description

 - go-ipld-prime is an implementation of the InterPlanetary Linked Data (IPLD) spec interfaces, a batteries-
 included codec implementations of IPLD for CBOR and JSON, and tooling for basic operations on IPLD
 objects. Prior to 0.22.0, the DAG-CBOR decoder uses collection sizes declared in CBOR headers as Go
 preallocation hints for maps and lists. The decoder does not cap these size hints or account for their
 cost in its allocation budget, allowing small payloads to cause excessive memory allocation. This
 vulnerability is fixed in 0.22.0. (CVE-2026-35480)

Solution

Update the github.com/ipld/go-ipld-prime library and its related packages to version 0.22.0 or later.
