description

The npm toml package before 5.0.1 can perform excessive synchronous work while parsing TOML documents with many array-of-tables headers. An attacker who can cause an application to parse a supplied TOML document may block the Node.js event loop and disrupt service.

mitigation

Upgrade the npm toml package to version 5.0.1 or later. Until upgraded, restrict untrusted TOML input and enforce limits on document size and table counts before parsing.

fixed in 5.0.1
