Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity in the CreateExtensionDataProperty method in JsonSerializer.Read.HandlePropertyName.cs, which copies the entire existing extension data dictionary into a newly allocated Dictionary even when the existing instance is already a mutable Dictionary. An attacker can force quadratic time and allocation during deserialization by sending an object with a large number of unmapped properties, because LookupProperty invokes the method once per unmapped property and the dictionary being copied grows by one entry each time. Exploitation requires the target type to declare a [JsonExtensionData] property typed IReadOnlyDictionary<string, object> or IReadOnlyDictionary<string, JsonElement>, and that property to be instantiated before deserialization begins, since the copy is skipped when the existing value is null.
