CVE-2026-73321

XenForo before 2.3.13 contains an uncontrolled recursion vulnerability in the BBCode parser that allows authenticated attackers to cause persistent denial of service by submitting a post with deeply nested BBCode tags. Attackers can craft a single malicious post with sufficient nesting depth to exceed PHP's stack limit, causing fatal errors that repeatedly terminate PHP-FPM workers for all visitors rendering the affected thread.
