CVE-2023-34616

Summary

CVE-2023-34616 is a vulnerability affecting pbjson, a library used for parsing and generating JSON data, up to version 0.4.0. This issue allows attackers to trigger a denial of service or potentially other unspecified impacts by supplying a specially crafted object with cyclic dependencies. By exploiting this vulnerability, attackers can cause pbjson to enter an infinite loop, leading to a consumption of system resources and ultimately a denial-of-service condition. This issue poses a significant risk to applications that rely on pbjson for JSON processing, and users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to a patched version as soon as possible.
