Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference in the embedded JavaScript scripting engine when the --allow-scripting capability is enabled. An attacker can cause the server process to terminate immediately without graceful shutdown by constructing a large string using built-in string functions and passing it to the JavaScript runtime for compilation, which triggers a null pointer dereference in the underlying QuickJS-NG engine. This is only exploitable if the --allow-scripting capability is enabled and the attacker is able to execute arbitrary queries, including unauthenticated guests when --allow-guests is enabled.
