CVE-2026-123563: Devalue validation bypass in ArrayBuffer reviver

CVE-2026-123563 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-11-08

Devalue is a JavaScript library that serializes and deserializes data structures. Attackers can craft malicious input that exploits a validation bypass in custom ArrayBuffer handlers to force allocation of extremely large memory blocks, causing the application to crash or become unresponsive due to memory exhaustion.

Technologies: Svelte Devalue. Vendors: Svelte.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a memory allocation validation bypass (CWE-789) in the parse function where custom ArrayBuffer revivers can circumvent typed-array allocation checks. An attacker supplies crafted input with a malformed ArrayBuffer reviver that, despite small input size, triggers allocation of massive ArrayBuffers. This is a denial-of-service attack requiring only network access to a service using vulnerable Devalue versions; no authentication or user interaction is needed.

Affected products
