Description

Overriding encoded array lengths by replacing them with an excessively large value causes the deserialization process to significantly increase processing time.

Mitigation:
Seroval no longer encodes array lengths. Instead, it computes length using Array.prototype.length during deserialization.

Recommendation

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

  • Affected version(s): <= 1.4.0
  • Patched version(s): 1.4.1
