  "details": "The SurrealDB value and JSON parser did not enforce the configured recursion depth limit when parsing nested `{`, `[`, or `(` tokens. The expression parser already enforced the limit for these tokens; the value/JSON parser omitted it. An unauthenticated attacker could send a deeply nested JSON payload to the WebSocket `/rpc` endpoint and exhaust server memory, crashing the process.\n\nThis is an incomplete fix for [GHSA-6r8p-hpg7-825g](https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/security/advisories/GHSA-6r8p-hpg7-825g), which addressed the same class of bug in the expression parser but did not cover the value/JSON parser code path.\n\n### Impact\n\nAn unauthenticated remote attacker can crash a SurrealDB server with a single WebSocket message. No credentials or query execution privileges are required.\n\n### Patches\n\nA patch enforces the configured recursion depth limit in `parse_value` and `parse_json`, bringing them in line with the rest of the parser.\n\n- Versions 3.1.0 and later are not affected by this issue.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nRestrict network access to the WebSocket `/rpc` endpoint to trusted clients.",
