Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound via the escape_and_append function in the document-builder API when processing very large input strings on platforms with limited size_t width. An attacker can cause out-of-bounds memory reads, potentially leading to information disclosure, memory corruption, or malformed output by supplying specially crafted large input data.
