CVE-2017-15871
Last modified
CVE-2017-15871 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. 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. EPSS estimates a 1.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
