Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output in the JsonKeysetReader process. An attacker can cause a denial of service by providing an input that is not an encoded JSON object, but still a valid encoded JSON element, such as a number or an array. Additionally, an attacker can cause a stack overflow by providing an input containing many nested JSON objects.
