Description

stringify and uneval serialize a typed array by emitting its backing ArrayBuffer, not just the view. In the case of a Node Buffer object, the backing buffer is a process-wide shared pool, meaning unrelated memory can be serialized into a response that is then sent to the client.

Recommendation

Update the devalue package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:

  • Affected version(s): >= 5.1.0, <= 5.9.2
  • Patched version(s): 5.9.3
