Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficient Control Flow Management via the br_table instruction in the Cranelift backend on aarch64 when handling a large number of targets. An attacker can execute arbitrary code outside the intended sandbox by crafting a WebAssembly module that causes a conditional branch to jump to a user-controlled offset.
