DescriptionGitHub Advisory
fast-xml-parser allows users to validate XML, parse XML to JS object, or build XML from JS object without C/C++ based libraries and no callback. In versions 5.0.9 through 5.3.3, a RangeError vulnerability exists in the numeric entity processing of fast-xml-parser when parsing XML with out-of-range entity code points (e.g., � or �). This causes the parser to throw an uncaught exception, crashing any application that processes untrusted XML input. Version 5.3.4 fixes the issue.
AnalysisAI
Fast-xml-parser versions 5.0.9 through 5.3.3 crash when processing XML containing out-of-range numeric entity code points, allowing remote attackers to cause denial of service against applications parsing untrusted XML input. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability. Applications should upgrade to version 5.3.4 or later to remediate.
