HIGH7.5EPSS 0.56%Denial-of-Service Extended Event Loop Blocking in qs
Published: 10/9/2018Modified: 4/28/2026
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 packages (2)
- Debian/node-qsfrom 0, < 2.2.4-1
