Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read due to a use-after-free in BigIntPrimitive addition which could have been used by an attacker to leak raw data from Hermes VM’s heap.

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