  "title": "Polynomial-time PEM parsing denial of service in node-forge",
  "summary": "node-forge versions before 1.4.1 are affected when an application passes untrusted PEM text to its PEM-parsing APIs. An unauthenticated attacker can cause excessive CPU use and block the Node.js event loop, disrupting requests. Applications that do not accept attacker-controlled PEM input are not exposed through this path.",
  "mitigation": "Upgrade node-forge to version 1.4.1 or later. Until upgraded, reject or strictly limit the size of untrusted PEM input before passing it to node-forge.",
