CVE-2026-59869

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...

js-yaml: js-yaml: Denial of Service via crafted YAML merge keys

A flaw was found in js-yaml, a JavaScript YAML parser and dumper. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted YAML document that repeatedly uses the same alias in a merge sequence. This can lead to algorithmic CPU exhaustion, causing the Node.js worker or eve...

CVE-2026-59868

A flaw was found in js-yaml, a JavaScript YAML parser and dumper. When merge keys are enabled, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a YAML document where a chain of mappings uses merge keys, each merging the previous one. This can lead to a significant increase in CPU ti...

DEBIAN-CVE-2026-59869

js-yaml is a JavaScript YAML parser and dumper. From 3.0.0 before 3.15.0 and from 4.0.0 before 4.3.0, js-yaml can spend quadratic CPU time parsing a document whose size grows only linearly when a chain of mappings uses merge keys where each mapping merges the previous one. This issue is fixed in...

CVE-2026-59869

js-yaml (JavaScript YAML parser) is affected by a resource-consumption issue in merge-key chains that can cause quadratic CPU time as documents grow linearly. Affected versions are 3.0.0–3.14.x and 4.0.0–4.2.x; the issue is fixed in 3.15.0 and 4.3.0. Impact is described as high availability (A:H)...

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available. - js-yaml is a JavaScript YAML parser and dumper. Prior to 4.2.0 and 3.15.0, a crafted YAML document can trigger algorithmic CPU exhaustion in js-yaml merge-key...

DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53550

js-yaml is a JavaScript YAML parser and dumper. Prior to 4.2.0 and 3.15.0, a crafted YAML document can trigger algorithmic CPU exhaustion in js-yaml merge-key processing by repeating the same alias many times in a merge sequence. This causes quadratic parse-time behavior relative to input size an...
