Technical details
A resource exhaustion vulnerability exists in Svelte devalue's 'devalue.parse' function. The root cause is located in the ArrayBuffer hydration logic, which expects base64 encoded strings as input but fails to validate this assumption before attempting to decode the data. An unauthenticated remote attacker can provide specially crafted inputs that trigger disproportionate CPU and memory consumption, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) state. The vulnerability also includes fixes for self-referential stack overflows. This issue is resolved in version 5.6.2.
Affected products
- Svelte devalue >= 5.1.0, < 5.6.2
- Red Hat Red Hat Trusted Artifact Signer 1.2, 1.3
