Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write due to an error in BigInt conversion to Number which could have been used by a malicious attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Note: This bug is only exploitable in cases where Hermes is used to execute untrusted JavaScript. Hence, most React Native applications are not affected.
