Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Race Condition due to inconsistent access to the map’s instance size in JSObject::GetEmbedderFieldCount. An attacker can exploit this race condition to cause incorrect embedder-field calculations, potentially leading to memory corruption, undefined behavior, or further exploitation depending on the embedding environment.
