CVE-2026-116583: Seroval typed array constructor name injection

CVE-2026-116583 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4 · Published 2026-10-26

Seroval is a JavaScript library that serializes complex data structures to executable code. An attacker who can inject untrusted properties onto a typed array can embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the serialized output, which executes when the output is received and evaluated by another application or page.

Technologies: Lxsmnsyc Seroval, seroval (npm). Vendors: Lxsmnsyc, npm.

Am I affected by CVE-2026-116583?
Check whether you run Lxsmnsyc Seroval or seroval (npm) at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

How to fix

  • seroval (npm): upgrade to 1.6.11 or later
    npm install seroval@1.6.11

Technical details

The vulnerability is a code injection flaw in Seroval's typed array serialization. When serializing typed arrays, the library reads the constructor name from value.constructor.name, which can be replaced by an attacker-supplied own property. This attacker-controlled name is written directly into the output JavaScript code after the `new` keyword, allowing arbitrary code injection. The flaw affects serialize, serializeAsync, crossSerialize, crossSerializeAsync, crossSerializeStream, and the Serializer and compileJSON APIs.
