Netplex Json-smart Uncontrolled Recursion vulnerability
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | net.minidev:json-smart | >= 2.5.0, < 2.5.2 | 2.5.2 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
A security issue was found in Netplex Json-smart 2.5.0 through 2.5.1. When loading a specially crafted JSON input, containing a large number of ’{’, a stack exhaustion can be trigger, which could allow an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). This issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-1370.
The fixed version only addresses the default modes provided by [JSONParser](https://github.com/netplex/json-smart-v2/blob/master/json-smart/src/main/java/net/minidev/json/parser/JSONParser.java#L118), such as `MODE_RFC4627`. If you create the JSONParser manually or with custom options, make sure to set the `LIMIT_JSON_DEPTH` option.
