Svelte devalue: DoS via sparse array deserialization

  • Disclosed: 14.05.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

devalue.parse could, due to quirks in some JavaScript engines, be convinced to allocate much more memory than was needed when deserializing sparse arrays, leading to excessive memory consumption.
