js-yaml: YAML merge-key chains can force quadratic CPU consumption

Impact js-yaml can spend quadratic CPU time parsing a document whose size grows only linearly. The issue is triggered by a chain of mappings where each mapping merges the previous one: yaml a0: &a0 k0: 0 a1: &a1 1s doc size 100K js import performance from 'node:perfhooks' import Buffer from...

js-yaml: js-yaml: Denial of Service via crafted YAML documents

A flaw was found in js-yaml, a JavaScript YAML parser and dumper. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted YAML document containing a chain of mappings with merge keys. This could cause the parser to consume excessive CPU resources, leading to a Denial o...
