Description
The qs module before 1.0.0 does not have an option or default for specifying object depth and when parsing a string representing a deeply nested object will block the event loop for long periods of time. An attacker could leverage this to cause a temporary denial-of-service condition, for example, in a web application, other requests would not be processed while this blocking is occurring.
Affected products
- HackerOne qs node module: before 1.0.0 — fixed in 1.0.0
How to fix
Upgrade to a fixed version: HackerOne qs node module 1.0.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
