CVE-2026-73643

A flaw was found in js-yaml, a JavaScript YAML parser. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted YAML input containing nested flow collections. This can lead to exponential parsing time when the application processes untrusted input, consuming excessive CPU...

js-yaml: Exponential parsing time in flow collections leads to denial of service

Summary Parsing a small YAML document can take exponential time. An application that calls load or loadAll on untrusted input can be hung by a payload under 200 bytes. Details When an entry in a flow sequence turns out to be a key: value pair, the parser rewinds and parses that entry a second tim...
