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...

Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity

Overview js-yaml is a human-friendly data serialization language. Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity in the merge key handling during YAML parsing, where each mapping in a chain re-enumerates the keys inherited from the previous mapping. An...

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...
