GHSA-86RQ-GV28-JJR6

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-13 01:28 – Updated: 2025-01-15 21:31

Details

The parse_string function in cjson.c in the cJSON library mishandles UTF8/16 strings, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a non-hex character in a JSON string, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Severity ?

9.8 (Critical)
