 flood,2026-05-03,1437,MEDIUM,3,,Re-audit 2026-05-03. MEDIUM Cat 3 fixed in PR #1438 (travel_time and flood_depth_vegetation now validate mannings_n DataArray values are finite and strictly positive via _validate_mannings_n_dataarray helper). No remaining unfixed findings. Other categories clean: every allocation is same-shape as input; no flat index math; NaN propagation explicit in every backend; tan_slope clamped by _TAN_MIN; no CUDA kernels; no file I/O; every public API calls _validate_raster on DataArray inputs.
 focal,2026-04-27,1284,HIGH,1,,"HIGH (fixed PR #1286): apply(), focal_stats(), and hotspots() accepted unbounded user-supplied kernels via custom_kernel(), which only checks shape parity. The kernel-size guard from #1241 (_check_kernel_memory) only ran inside circle_kernel/annulus_kernel, so a (50001, 50001) custom kernel on a 10x10 raster allocated ~10 GB on the kernel itself plus a much larger padded raster before any work -- same shape as the bilateral DoS in #1236. Fixed by adding _check_kernel_vs_raster_memory in focal.py and wiring it into apply(), focal_stats(), and hotspots() after custom_kernel() validation. All 134 focal tests + 19 bilateral tests pass. No other findings: 10 CUDA kernels all have proper bounds + stencil guards; _validate_raster called on every public entry point; hotspots already raises ZeroDivisionError on constant-value rasters; _focal_variety_cuda uses a fixed-size local buffer (silent truncation but bounded); _focal_std_cuda/_focal_var_cuda clamp the catastrophic-cancellation case via if var < 0.0: var = 0.0; no file I/O."
 geodesic,2026-04-27,1283,HIGH,1,,"HIGH (fixed PR #1285): slope(method='geodesic') and aspect(method='geodesic') stack a (3, H, W) float64 array (data, lat, lon) before dispatch with no memory check. A large lat/lon-tagged raster passed to either function would OOM. Fixed by adding _check_geodesic_memory(rows, cols) in xrspatial/geodesic.py (mirrors morphology._check_kernel_memory): budgets 56 bytes/cell (24 stacked float64 + 4 float32 output + 24 padded copy + slack) and raises MemoryError when > 50% of available RAM; called from slope.py and aspect.py inside the geodesic branch before dispatch. No other findings: 6 CUDA kernels all have bounds guards (e.g. _run_gpu_geodesic_aspect at geodesic.py:395), custom 16x16 thread blocks avoid register spill, no shared memory, _validate_raster runs upstream in slope/aspect, all backends cast to float32, slope_mag < 1e-7 flat threshold prevents arctan2 NaN propagation, curvature correction uses hardcoded WGS84 R."
-geotiff,2026-05-11,1614,MEDIUM,5,,"MEDIUM (Cat 5 XML injection, filed #1614): _build_gdal_metadata_xml in _geotags.py used plain f-strings to embed caller-supplied keys and values into the GDALMetadata XML payload (tag 42112), so a key or value carrying XML special chars (< > & "" ') silently produced malformed XML (ParseError on read -> attrs round-tripped as {}) or let a crafted key inject attributes into <Item> (e.g. name='foo"" malicious=""bar'). Fix mirrors #1607: route every text slot through xml.sax.saxutils.escape and every attribute slot through quoteattr; sample indices are emitted from int() casts. Same bug class as #1607 but on a separate code path the earlier sweep did not cover. Other categories clean (rest of geotiff already hardened by #1607/#1579/#1584/#1219/#1196/#1189). Reachable from to_geotiff, _write_vrt_tiled, and write_geotiff_gpu whenever a caller passes attrs['gdal_metadata'] as a dict."
+geotiff,2026-05-11,1625,MEDIUM,1,,"Re-audit pass 14 2026-05-11: MEDIUM Cat 1 (decompression bomb, filed #1625): lerc_decompress_with_mask and jpeg2000_decompress called lerc.decode / glymur.Jp2k[:] with no pre-decode output-size bound. The post-decode size check in _decode_strip_or_tile fired only after the external library had already materialised the full buffer. A 94-byte LERC blob can declare a 64 MiB output; a kilobyte-sized blob can request multiple GB. Fix: added _check_lerc_bomb helper (queries lerc.getLercBlobInfo for declared nCols/nRows/nBands*dtype_bytes) and Jp2k.shape check in jpeg2000_decompress; both raise ValueError when declared output exceeds expected_size*1.05+1 cap, matching the deflate/zstd/lz4/packbits pattern from #1533. Wired expected_size through decompress() and _decode_strip_or_tile and _gpu_decode CPU fallback. JPEG codec is protected at the library level via Image.MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS so no wrapper-level cap is needed. Other categories remain clean (see prior pass notes)."
 glcm,2026-04-24,1257,HIGH,1,,"HIGH (fixed #1257): glcm_texture() validated window_size only as >= 3 and distance only as >= 1, with no upper bound on either. _glcm_numba_kernel iterates range(r-half, r+half+1) for every pixel, so window_size=1_000_001 on a 10x10 raster ran ~10^14 loop iterations with all neighbors failing the interior bounds check (CPU DoS). On the dask backends depth = window_size // 2 + distance drove map_overlap padding, so a huge window also caused oversize per-chunk allocations (memory DoS). Fixed by adding max_val caps in the public entrypoint: window_size <= max(3, min(rows, cols)) and distance <= max(1, window_size // 2). One cap covers every backend because cupy and dask+cupy call through to the CPU kernel after cupy.asnumpy. No other HIGH findings: levels is already capped at 256 so the per-pixel np.zeros((levels, levels)) matrix in the kernel is bounded to 512 KB. No CUDA kernels. No file I/O. Quantization clips to [0, levels-1] before the kernel and NaN maps to -1 which the kernel filters with i_val >= 0. Entropy log(p) and correlation p / (std_i * std_j) are both guarded. All four backends use _validate_raster and cast to float64 before quantizing. MEDIUM (unfixed, Cat 1): the per-pixel np.zeros((levels, levels)) allocation inside the hot loop is a perf issue (levels=256 -> 512 KB alloc+free per pixel) but not a security issue because levels is bounded. Could be hoisted out of the loop or replaced with an in-place clear, but that is an efficiency concern, not security."
 gpu_rtx,2026-04-29,1308,HIGH,1,,"HIGH (fixed #1308 / PR #1310): hillshade_rtx (gpu_rtx/hillshade.py:184) and viewshed_gpu (gpu_rtx/viewshed.py:269) allocated cupy device buffers sized by raster shape with no memory check. create_triangulation (mesh_utils.py:23-24) adds verts (12 B/px) + triangles (24 B/px) = 36 B/px; hillshade_rtx adds d_rays(32) + d_hits(16) + d_aux(12) + d_output(4) = 64 B/px (100 B/px total); viewshed_gpu adds d_rays(32) + d_hits(16) + d_visgrid(4) + d_vsrays(32) = 84 B/px (120 B/px total). A 30000x30000 raster asked for 90-108 GB of VRAM before cupy surfaced an opaque allocator error. Fixed by adding gpu_rtx/_memory.py with _available_gpu_memory_bytes() and _check_gpu_memory(func_name, h, w) helpers (cost_distance #1262 / sky_view_factor #1299 pattern, 120 B/px budget covers worst case, raises MemoryError when required > 50% of free VRAM, skips silently when memGetInfo() unavailable). Wired into both entry points after the cupy.ndarray type check and before create_triangulation. 9 new tests in test_gpu_rtx_memory.py (5 helper-unit + 4 end-to-end gated on has_rtx). All 81 existing hillshade/viewshed tests still pass. Cat 4 clean: all CUDA kernels (hillshade.py:25/62/106, viewshed.py:32/74/116, mesh_utils.py:50) have bounds guards; no shared memory, no syncthreads needed. MEDIUM not fixed (Cat 6): hillshade_rtx and viewshed_gpu do not call _validate_raster directly but parent hillshade() (hillshade.py:252) and viewshed() (viewshed.py:1707) already validate, so input validation runs before the gpu_rtx entry point - defense-in-depth, not exploitable. MEDIUM not fixed (Cat 2): mesh_utils.py:64-68 cast mesh_map_index to int32 in the triangle index buffer; overflows at H*W > 2.1B vertices (~46341x46341+) but the new memory guard rejects rasters that large first - documentation/clarity item rather than exploitable. MEDIUM not fixed (Cat 3): mesh_utils.py:19 scale = maxDim / maxH divides by zero on an all-zero raster, propagating inf/NaN into mesh vertex z-coords; separate follow-up. LOW not fixed (Cat 5): mesh_utils.write() opens user-supplied path without canonicalization but its only call site (mesh_utils.py:38-39) sits behind if False: in create_triangulation, not reachable in production."
 hillshade,2026-04-27,,,,,"Clean. Cat 1: only allocation is the output np.empty(data.shape) at line 32 (cupy at line 165) and a _pad_array with hardcoded depth=1 (line 62) -- bounded by caller, no user-controlled amplifier. Azimuth/altitude are scalars and don't drive size. Cat 2: numba kernel uses range(1, rows-1) with simple (y, x) indexing; numba range loops promote to int64. Cat 3: math.sqrt(1.0 + xx_plus_yy) is always >= 1.0 (no neg sqrt, no div-by-zero); NaN elevation propagates correctly through dz_dx/dz_dy -> shaded -> output (the shaded < 0.0 / shaded > 1.0 clamps don't fire on NaN). Azimuth validated to [0, 360], altitude to [0, 90]. Cat 4: _gpu_calc_numba (line 107) guards both grid bounds and 3x3 stencil reads via i > 0 and i < shape[0]-1 and j > 0 and j < shape[1]-1; no shared memory. Cat 5: no file I/O. Cat 6: hillshade() calls _validate_raster (line 252) and _validate_scalar for both azimuth (253) and angle_altitude (254); all four backend paths cast to float32; tests parametrize int32/int64/float32/float64."
