DescriptionGitHub Advisory

seroval facilitates JS value stringification, including complex structures beyond JSON.stringify capabilities. In versions 1.4.0 and below, overriding encoded array lengths by replacing them with an excessively large value causes the deserialization process to significantly increase processing time. This issue has been fixed in version 1.4.1.

AnalysisAI

Seroval versions 1.4.0 and below are vulnerable to denial of service through malformed deserialization payloads that specify excessively large array lengths, causing the parsing process to consume excessive CPU resources and become unresponsive. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this without user interaction by sending a crafted serialized object to any application using the vulnerable library. …
