GMS-2019-127: Denial of Service in js-yaml

June 5, 2019 (updated August 4, 2021)

Versions of js-yaml prior to 3.13.0 are vulnerable to Denial of Service. By parsing a carefully-crafted YAML file, the node process stalls and may exhaust system resources leading to a Denial of Service.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 3.13.0.
