If the parser is run on data that the user has access to, it may be possible for an attacker to inject data which causes the parser to crash. This may support a DoS attack. Avoiding user input when possible avoids these issues. Parsing untrusted data requires trust in the data or a process that does the parsing.
CVE-2022-40151
If the parser is run on data that the user has access to, it may be possible for an attacker to cause a denial of service attack because of memory corruption. This may support a DoS attack. Avoiding user input when possible avoids these issues. Parsing untrusted data requires trust in the data or a process that does the parsing.
CVE-2022-4007
The parser's use of a loop is vulnerable to this issue. It may be possible for an attacker to execute code within the loop and do something like a DoS attack. Avoiding user input when possible avoids these issues.
Parsing untrusted data requires trust in the data or a process that does the parsing.
Information Disclosure
Information disclosure is a type of vulnerability that may allow an attacker to access information from memory. This includes being able to read, write, or delete items in memory. To mitigate this risk, it is best to avoid parsing untrusted data and implementing trust in the data.
Double-encoding issue (CVE-2022-40151)
In some specific cases, where data such as URLs or email addresses have been double-encoded, it is possible for an attacker to inject a web-site or email link which causes the parser to crash. This may support a DoS attack. Avoiding user input when possible avoids these issues. Parsing untrusted data requires trust in the data or a process that does the parsing.
