Overview

seroval is a Stringify JS values

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Length Parameter Inconsistency via the fromJSON/fromCrossJSON deserialization path in deserializer.ts, where a node's element list is not validated to be a real array before use. An attacker can supply a payload containing an array-like object (e.g. {"length": 1000000000} or {"length": "Infinity"}) in place of a genuine element list for arrays, object/record properties, Set, Map, StreamConstructor, or Sequence nodes. Because the length property drives allocation and iteration with no matching data on the wire, a tiny payload forces unbounded memory allocation and work, crashing the process.
