    Uncontrolled Recursion

    protobufjs is a protocol buffer for JavaScript (& TypeScript).

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion through the Root.fromJSON or Namespace.addJSON functions. An attacker can cause resource exhaustion and disrupt service availability by submitting a crafted JSON descriptor with deeply nested namespace definitions.

    Note:

    This is only exploitable if all of the following conditions are met:

    • The application must load JSON descriptor data influenced by an attacker.

    • The crafted descriptor must contain deeply nested nested namespace objects.

    • The affected Root.fromJSON() / Namespace.addJSON() descriptor expansion path must process the crafted input.

    How to fix Uncontrolled Recursion?

    Upgrade protobufjs to version 7.5.8, 8.2.0 or higher.

    Improper Handling of Unicode Encoding

    protobufjs is a protocol buffer for JavaScript (& TypeScript).

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Unicode Encoding in the decoding of overlong UTF-8 strings. An attacker can bypass application-level byte filtering or validation by sending malicious sequences that decode to canonical characters. This is only exploitable if the application decodes protobuf binary data using the minimal UTF-8 decoder and relies on byte-level filtering before string decoding.

    How to fix Improper Handling of Unicode Encoding?

    Upgrade protobufjs to version 7.5.6, 8.0.2, 8.0.3, 8.2.0 or higher.
