This CVE record has been updated after NVD enrichment efforts were completed. Enrichment data supplied by the NVD may require amendment due to these changes.
Current Description
The deserialize function in serialize-to-js through 1.1.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via vectors involving an Immediately Invoked Function Expression "function()" substring, as demonstrated by a "function(){console.log(" call or a simple infinite loop. NOTE: the vendor agrees that denial of service can occur but notes that deserialize is explicitly listed as "harmful" within the README.md file

** DISPUTED ** The deserialize function in serialize-to-js through 1.1.1 allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via vectors involving a "function()" substring, as demonstrated by a "function(){console.log(" call. NOTE: The vendor states 'In my understanding [this attack] just runs inside a "sandbox" and prints ... to a tty.'
