CVE-2026-119138

Wasmtime 46.0.0 before 48.0.6 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.3 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows pending calls to trigger an assertion failure after a trap poisons the Store. Attackers supplying misbehaving guest code can cause a trap and let earlier calls proceed, crashing embedders that continue using the inconsistent Store.
