CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects protobufjs versions prior to 7.6.5 and 8.6.6, where improper parsing of option names in .proto schemas can lead to an infinite loop during the loading process. This can result in denial of service, as applications may become unresponsive when processing malformed schema files. Developers and organizations using protobufjs should prioritize updating to the fixed versions to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
protobufjs compiles protobuf definitions into JavaScript (JS) functions. Prior to 7.6.5 and 8.6.6, protobufjs parsed option names by advancing through schema tokens until reaching an = token without checking for end of input, so a crafted .proto schema that opens an option declaration and ends prematurely can cause parse, Root.load, or Root.loadSync to loop indefinitely. This issue is fixed in versions 7.6.5 and 8.6.6.
