Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception through the link validation. An attacker can cause the application to crash or become unresponsive by submitting deeply nested input that triggers an unhandled RangeError exception. This is only exploitable if input validation is performed without proper exception handling (such as missing try/catch blocks).
