CVE-2026-54696: Ruby json: JSON generator heap buffer overflow when streaming to an IO

JSON.dump(obj, io) and JSON::State#generate(obj, io) can write past the internal JSON generator buffer when a streamed object contains an attacker-controlled string near 16 KB. The issue is a heap out-of-bounds write in the IO-streaming path and is demonstrated as a reliable process crash / denial of service.

This was triaged on HackerOne as report #3785370. The issue was confirmed there and I was asked to open it here.
