CVE-2026-52794 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) affecting sentry. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Sentry is an error tracking and performance monitoring tool. From 24.4.0 until 26.5.2, a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability exists in Sentry's event ingestion pipeline, where a regex applied to attacker-controlled fields on incoming events can be made to consume disproportionate CPU time. This vulnerability is fixed in 26.5.2.

sentry sentry UPGRADE

Affected: >= 24.4.0 and < 26.5.2

Fixed in: 26.5.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 24.4.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy sentry || rpm -q sentry || sentry --version

2. UPGRADE to 26.5.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade sentry

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade sentry

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 24.4.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison sentry sudo apt install sentry=<VERSION_BEFORE_24.4.0> sudo apt-mark hold sentry

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list sentry sudo dnf downgrade sentry-<VERSION_BEFORE_24.4.0> sudo dnf versionlock add sentry

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
