Description

Impact

devalue.parse prior to version 5.9.2 fails to reject out-of-bounds indices. Specially-crafted payloads can exploit this to cause devalue to alternate between different array representations, resulting in work that is quadratic with payload size.

Applications are potentially affected if they call devalue.parse with untrusted data.
