AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

Denial of service in Svelte devalue library versions 5.1.0 through 5.6.1 allows remote attackers to exhaust CPU and memory resources by supplying malformed input to the parse function, affecting applications that process untrusted serialized data. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of ArrayBuffer inputs during deserialization. Applications should upgrade to version 5.6.2 or later.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Affects Devalue. Svelte devalue is a JavaScript library that serializes values into strings when JSON.stringify isn't sufficient for the job. From 5.1.0 to 5.6.1, certain inputs can cause devalue.parse to consume excessive CPU time and/or memory, potentially leading to denial of service in systems that parse input from untrusted sources. This affects applications using devalue.parse on externally-supplied data. The root cause is the ArrayBuffer hydration expecting base64 encoded strings as input, but not checkin

DescriptionCVE.org

Svelte devalue is a JavaScript library that serializes values into strings when JSON.stringify isn't sufficient for the job. From 5.1.0 to 5.6.1, certain inputs can cause devalue.parse to consume excessive CPU time and/or memory, potentially leading to denial of service in systems that parse input from untrusted sources. This affects applications using devalue.parse on externally-supplied data. The root cause is the ArrayBuffer hydration expecting base64 encoded strings as input, but not checking the assumption before decoding the input. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.6.2.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using Svelte devalue face notable risk from CVE-2026-22775 rated CVSS 7.5. Exploitation could compromise the security of affected deployments. A patch is available and should be applied as part of regular vulnerability management.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Implement network-level access controls to limit exposure; (2) Enable enhanced monitoring and alerting; (3) Apply principle of least privilege.
